Also question is, how many zeros are in a googolplex?
one hundred zeros
what is the largest number known to man? A googol is a 1 with a hundred zeroes behind it. We can write a googol using exponents by saying a googol is 10^100. The biggest named number that we know is googolplex, ten to the googol power, or (10)^(10^100). That's written as a one followed by googol zeroes.
Just so, is a Google a number?
The googol originated in 1938 when a mathematician named Edward Kasner wanted to introduce the world to some very large numbers that anyone can comprehend. He asked his 9-year-old nephew Milton Sirotta for a name for 1 followed by 100 zeros, and Sirotta suggested "googol".
How many trillions are in a Google?
One trillion is 1 followed by 12 zeroes, or 1012. Believe it or not, mathematicians use numbers much bigger than 1 trillion. In 1938, a 9-year-old boy named Milton Sirotta, who was the nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, invented a new number that he called a googol.
