05/08/2019 · Edward Kasner and his colleague James Newman wrote this about a googolplex in their 1940 book Mathematics and the Imagination: “You will get some idea of the size of this very large but finite number from the fact that there would not be enough room to write it, if you went to the farthest star, touring all the nebulae and putting down zeros every inch of the way." Wow!

Googolplex is a large number equal to 10 10100 = 10 googol or one followed by a googol (10 100 ) zeroes. Milton Sirotta originally defined it as "one, followed by writing zeroes until you get tired". Edward Kasner, unsatisfied by this vague definition, redefined it …

A googolplex is ten to the power of a googol, and a googol is ten to the power of a hundred, so the simplest way to write out a googolplex is: [math]\displaystyle 10^{\text{googol}}=10^{10^{100}}\tag*{}[/math] Writing it out in decimal without exp...

COM. Googol: A very large number! A "1" followed by one hundred zeros. 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. Googolplex: A mind-boggling, stupendously ginormous number! A "1" followed by a googol of zeros.

For many people, Googolplex is the largest number with a name. Like googol it is a number that was "invented" just for the purpose of being large. As described under the googol entry, credit for the invention of the -plex suffix is indeterminate. See for more about this number.

27/10/2008 · Yes. But it has no use. It's so big, that there is not enough room in the universe to write it out. A googolplex is 10 raised to the power of a googol (or 1 followed by a googol of zeros). A googol is 10 raised to the power of 100 ( or 1 followed by 100 zeros). "Googleplex" is actually the name of Google's headquarters. They meant to name themselves after the number, …
