A googolplex is the large number 10 googol, or equivalently, 1010100 or 1010,000,000,000, 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 a 1 followed by 100 zeros. The number was first introduced by mathematician Edward Kasner, who got the name for the number from his young nephew (and which Google later used for their own name). Kasner also coined the term googolplex.
A googol is 10 to the 100th power, which is 1 followed by 100 zeros. 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.
Googolplex is the official name of a reference large number, defined as 10 10 100 = 10 googol or one followed by a googol (10 100) zeroes. [1] [2] Milton Sirotta originally defined it as "one, followed by writing zeroes until you get tired".
Googolplex is a large number equal to (i.e., 1 with a googol number of 0s written after it). The term was coined in 1938 after 9-year-old Milton Sirotta, nephew of Edward Kasner, coined the term "googol" and Kasner extended it to this larger number (Kasner 1989, pp. 20-27; Bialik 2004).
Large numbers are numbers above one million that are usually represented either with the use of an exponent such as 10 9 or by terms such as billion or thousand millions that frequently differ from system to system.
