Who can name a bigger number than me?

Question

the only rule is the number has to actually have an accepted name and can't be infinity.

my answer: a fuga gar-googolplex

this number is a googolplex raised to the power of a googolplex a googolplex number of times.

:) good luck, 10 points for the highest number

Answer 1

Can't do it, because I don't know how big you are.

Answer 2

huh? =p the highest number I no is 1 billion hehe...

Answer 3

a hundred thousand million billion trillion...raised to the power of a trillion...

Answer 4

lisoumniok multiplied by lisoumniok  a lisoumniok number of times  (HA!)

Answer 5

Numbers can go on infinitely. For more info, check out the article "The Biggest Numbers in the Universe" by Brian Clair gets into this in more depth.

Googolplex is the highest named number, but I think for general purposes, not scientific. Scientists use "scientific notation." For example, 10�� is ten to the 23rd power. Rather than writing out 10 followed by 23 zeroes, this is faster, more convenient. It can get bigger, more complex. For example, 10�� x 9000 is 10 to the 23rd times 9,000. And it gets yet more complex.

Here's a list in use for the United States:

quintillion

sextillion

octillion

nonillion

decillion

undecillion

duodecillion

A centillion is a 1 followed by 303 zeroes

A googol a 1 followed by 100 zeroes, and a googolplex is a 1 followed by a googol of zeroes. But the google is not usually used in science at all. More for fun and general expressions.

There's a very large, more complete list at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_la...

FROM WIKIPEDIA: The names googol and googolplex were invented by Edward Kasner's nephew, Milton Sirotta, and introduced in Kasner and Newman's 1940 book, Mathematics and the Imagination, in the following passage:

Words of wisdom are spoken by children at least as often as by scientists. The name "googol" was invented by a child (Dr. Kasner's nine-year-old nephew) who was asked to think up a name for a very big number, namely 1 with a hundred zeroes after it.

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

a gazillion thousand fuga gar-googolplex.

this number is a lot more than a fuga gar-googolplex. It has the formula: fuga gar-googolplex multiplied gazillion thousand times.   One gazillion thousand fuga gar-googolplex measures from the planet Mercury to Pluto.

=)

Answer 7

fugagargantugoogolplex:

gargantugoogolplex raised to the gargantugoogolplex

power a gargantugoogolplex times

megafugagoogolplex

megafugagargoogolplex

megafugagargantugoogolplex

These last three are number with names......there just doesnt seem to be any values stated for them, but they are listed as the largest (last one being the largest of all)

Answer 8

Refer to the following link to get an idea of how small even a googolplex raised to a goo... is !

Answer 9

there is no known number higher than a googolplex, a googolplex is something like 10^100, it is the largest possible number known besides "infinity". i think to write a googolplex you would write the number 1 , fallowed by 10,000 trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion zero's.   BUT, you could put a 1 at the end of that to make it larger than a googolplex. but thats all i got!

i take that back, just checked on something called the reynolds number which is supposed to be bigger than a googolplex
