This number was given the name googolplex and is defined as 10 to the power of a googol, or 1 followed by a googol zeros.
A googol is the large number 10100. In decimal notation, it is written as the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeroes: 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
In 1920, Edward Kasner's nine-year-old nephew, Milton Sirotta, coined the term googol, which is 10100, and then proposed the further term googolplex to be "one, followed by writing zeroes until you get tired".
A googol, officially known as ten-duotrigintillion or ten thousand sexdecillion, is a 1 with one hundred zeros after it. Written out, a googol looks like this: 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
A googol is 1 followed by 100 zeros.
“We've defined a 'prillionaire' as someone who has several bank accounts across borders, has retirement funds, different kinds of investments, properties and perhaps a crypto wallet. “They belong to or will soon be part of an elite affluent community – and most importantly, they have the desire to be a millionaire.”
Definition of sextillion
noun, plural sex·til·lions, (as after a numeral) sex·til·lion. a cardinal number represented in the U.S. by 1 followed by 21 zeros, and in Great Britain by 1 followed by 36 zeros.
But where do we go from million? After a billion, of course, is trillion. Then comes quadrillion, quintrillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, and decillion.
While this is an unimaginably large number, there's still an infinite quantity of larger numbers. One such number is googolplex, which is 10 to the power of a googol, or 1 followed by a googol of zeros.
It depends on who is counting. British and Europeans would call it one trillion; Americans would call it one quintillion.
But one can have, after the vigintillion, a trigintillion, a quadragintillion, a quinquagintillion, a sexagintillion, a septuagintillion, an octogintillion, a nonagintillion, and a centillion.
A unit of quantity equal to 10120 (1 followed by 120 zeros).
Definition of vigintillion
a cardinal number represented in the U.S. by 1 followed by 63 zeros, and in Great Britain by 1 followed by 120 zeros. amounting to one vigintillion in number.
The concept of infinity varies accordingly. Mathematically, if we see infinity is the unimaginable end of the number line. As no number is imagined beyond it(no real number is larger than infinity). The symbol (∞) sets the limit or unboundedness in calculus.
The googolplex then, is a specific finite number, with so many zeros after the 1 that the number of zeros is a googol. A googolplex is much bigger than a googol, much bigger even than a googol times a googol. A googol times a googol would be 1 with 200 zeros, whereas a googolplex is 1 with a googol of zeros.
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!
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...
If you have an enormous, indefinite number of things, you can say you have a gazillion.
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.
1 trillion consists of 1 followed by 12 zeros, that is, 1, 000, 000,000, 000 and can be written as 1012 (ten to the twelfth power). It takes about 32,000 years to finish 1 trillion seconds. [Note: The values which are greater than a trillion are called Quadrillion (1015)and Quintillion (1018).]
noun, plural quat·tu·or·de·cil·lions, (as after a numeral) quat·tu·or·de·cil·lion. a cardinal number represented in the U.S. by 1 followed by 45 zeros, and in Great Britain by 1 followed by 84 zeros.
A nonillion is a real number. The number nonillion is a very large number which is written as a 1 followed by 30 zeroes! It looks like this: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
