Unimaginably Huge Numbers

Hello everyone! Today, in this article, we will be talking about some unimaginably huge numbers, some of which can only be expressed in exponent form. On the other hand, I would like to apologize for not writing or posting anything since the beginning of January, as I had taken some time off.

We all know the basic big numbers, such as million, billion, trillion and for those who don’t know the value of these numbers, you should read my blog post about the American number system and the old British number system. Trillion, ten trillion, and hundred trillion are the stopping point for most individuals, they do not know any huge number beyond the trillions even have a name! If you are one of those people, then this article is for you, where we will be exploring ginormous quantities which are unimaginable.

Ten times a hundred trillion is a quadrillion, also known as a thousand trillion. A quadrillion is one followed by fifteen zeroes, or 10¹⁵. Then, we have a quintillion, or thousand quadrillion, or a million trillion, which is a one followed by eighteen zeroes, or 10¹⁸. After that, we have a sextillion (equal to thousand quintillion, million quadrillion, billion trillion) which is one followed by twenty-one zeroes, or 10²¹. After that we have a septillion (equal to a thousand sextillion, million quintillion, billion quadrillion, or a trillion trillion) which is one followed by 24 zeroes, or 10²⁴. Next, we have an octillion (equal to thousand septillion, million sextillion, billion quintillion, trillion quadrillion, quadrillion trillion, quintillion billion, or sextillion million) which is one followed by 27 zeroes, or 10²⁷. After that, we have a nonillion (equal to thousand octillion) which is one followed by thirty zeroes, or 10³⁰. Then, we have a decillion (equal to thousand nonillion) which is one followed by 33, or 10³³. There are so many more numbers which will be shown in the table below:

Name: Undecillion	Equal to: Thousand Decillion	Value: 1036
Name: Duodecillion	Equal to: Thousand Undecillion	Value: 1039
Name: Tredecillion	Equal to: Thousand Duodecillion	Value: 1042
Name: Quattuordecillion	Equal to: Thousand Tredecillion	Value: 1045
Name: Quindecillion	Equal to: Thousand quattuordecillion	Value: 1048
Name: Sexdecillion	Equal to: Thousand quindecillion	Value: 1051
Name: Septendecillion	Equal to: Thousand sexdecillion	Value: 1054
Name: Octodecillion	Equal to: Thousand septendecillion	Value: 1057
Name: Novemdecillion	Equal to: Thousand octodecillion	Value: 1060
Name: Vigintillion	Equal to: Thousand novemdecillion	Value: 1063
Name: Unvigintillion	Equal to: Thousand vigintillion	Value: 1066
Name: Duovigintillion	Equal to: Thousand Unvigintillion	Value: 1069
Name: Trevigintillion	Equal to: Thousand Duovigintillion	Value: 1072
Name: Quattuorvigintillion	Equal to: Thousand Trevigintillion	Value: 1075
Name: Quinvigintillion	Equal to: Thousand quattuorvigintillion	Value: 1078
Name: Sexvigintillion	Equal to: Thousand quinvigintillion	Value: 1081
Name: Septenvigintillion	Equal to: Thousand sexvigintillion	Value: 1083
Name: Octovigintillion	Equal to: Thousand septenvigintillion	Value: 1087
Name: Novemvigintillion	Equal to: Thousand octovigintillion	Value: 1090
Name: Trigintillion	Equal to: Thousand novemvigintillion	Value: 1093
Name: Untrigintillion	Equal to: Thousand Trigintillion	Value: 1096
Name: Duotrigintillion	Equal to: Thousand Untrogintillion	Value: 1099

We have now reached 10^99. Instead of directly skipping to 10^120 (tretrigintillion), we have a googol, which is 10^100. Googol is a very famous number, and it is even known by those who are not well-versed in or interested in mathematics. In fact, the name of the search engine Google, was actually a misspelling of the number googol by its founders. In simpler terms, Google, is in actuality, namesake of the number, googol. After googol, we have ten googol, or hundred duotrigintillion, after which we have a thousand googol, or a tretrigintillion. This sort of a pattern continues indefinitely, so we shall take a look at a much greater number, known as a googolplex. Googolplex, equal to 10^10^100, or one followed by a googol zeroes. Moving on, we have a number so incomprehensively great that it is equal to 10^10^10^100, which means it is followed by a googolplex zeroes! Such a number is known as googolplexian or googolplexplex. We can keep moving on indefinitely.

I hope all of you enjoyed reading this article. Thank you for reading my blog and I will see you in the next article.
