Everyone loves to pull out infinity, or the fabled “infinity plus one.” Maybe if you were inclined to do so, you pulled out the googol or the googolplex. Smaller than infinity, but really big numbers each.
Googolplex may well designate the largest number named with a single word, but of course that doesn't make it the biggest number. In a last-ditch effort to hold onto the hope that there is indeed such a thing as the largest number… Child: Infinity! Nothing is larger than infinity!
What's bigger than a googolplex? Even though a googolplex is immense, Graham's number and Skewes' number are much larger. Named after mathematicians Ronald Graham and Stanley Skewes, both numbers are so large that they can't be represented in the observable universe.
The thing is, infinity is not a number, but a concept or idea. A "googol" is the number 1 followed by 100 zeroes. The biggest number with a name is a "googolplex," which is the number 1 followed by a googol zeroes.
As no number is imagined beyond it(no real number is larger than infinity). The symbol (∞) sets the limit or unboundedness in calculus.
The answer depends on which notion of infinity we use. The infinity of limits has no size concept, and the formula would be false. The infinity of set theory does have a size concept and the formula would be kind of true. Technically, statement 2∞ > ∞ is neither true nor false.
Yet even this relatively modest version of infinity has many bizarre properties, including being so vast that it remains the same, no matter how big a number is added to it (including another infinity). So infinity plus one is still infinity.
Written out in ordinary decimal notation, it is 1 followed by 10100 zeroes; that is, a 1 followed by a googol of zeroes.
noun,plural cen·til·lions, (as after a numeral) cen·til·lion. a cardinal number represented in the U.S. by 1 followed by 303 zeros, and in Great Britain by 1 followed by 600 zeros.
A googolplex is 10 raised to the power of a googol, that is it's one followed by a googol of zeroes." A googolplex is so large, there is not enough matter in existence to write it longhand. As numbers increase towards infinity, mathematicians know less and less about them.
There is no biggest, last number … except infinity. Except infinity isn't a number.
There is no number before infinity. It is possible to represent infinity minus one as a mathematical expression, but it does not actually equal anything or have any real mathematical value.
Some numbers come after googolplex, and we have named them too. Skewes' number is one of the larger numbers than even a googolplex. This number was developed by mathematician Stanley Skewes and named after him. Skewes had a particular interest in prime numbers.
The number 1000000000000000000000000 is called a quintillion. In the long scale system of naming numbers, a quintillion is equal to 10^18 or a million billion. In the short scale system, which is commonly used in the United States, a quintillion is equal to 10^15 or a billion billion.
Zillion sounds like an actual number because of its similarity to billion, million, and trillion, and it is modeled on these real numerical values. However, like its cousin jillion, zillion is an informal way to talk about a number that's enormous but indefinite.
We call 1,000,000 a million, 1,000,000,000 a billion, 1,000,000,000,000 a trillion, 1,000,000,000,000,000 a quadrillion, 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 a quintillion, and 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 a sextillion.
Then, you finally reach Millinillion. Repeat with those numbers to reach Billinillion. After that comes a Trillinillion, Quadrillinillion, Quintillinillion, Sextillinillion, Septillinillion, Octillinillion, Nonillinillion, and on...
Google is the word that is more common to us now, and so it is sometimes mistakenly used as a noun to refer to the number 10100. That number is a googol, so named by Milton Sirotta, the nephew of the American mathematician Edward Kasner, who was working with large numbers like 10100.
Infinity is a concept, not a number; therefore, the expression 1/infinity is actually undefined.
In arithmetic, 1 plus infinity is undefined and cannot be given a numerical value. Similarly, 1 minus infinity is undefined.
The Lord has no limitations; as Psalm 147:5 puts it: “Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.” Something or someone that is beyond all human measure is infinite by definition. No matter how hard we try to “measure” God, He will always go beyond us.
