How many MB's or GB's would the file in notepad that just has the number googolplex written in it be?

You're probably imagining the number written out in a string of zeros, NOT in exponential notation. (Notepad doesn't handle exponential notation anyway.) The definition of 1 googolplex is: '1' followed by a googol zeros. In an ASCII text file, each character is represented by one byte of data. All the data in your file consists predominantly of the character "0", and there are a googol of them in the file. So the file size must be roughly one googol-Byte. 1 googol is 10100. A good sized hard-drive holds 1 TB = 1012 Bytes. So your Notepad file would fill 1088 1-TB drives ... more than have ever been or are ever likely to be manufactured. Let's not even think about the time required to save or retrieve the file.

What is googolplex raised to the power of googolplex?
The name of that number would be Fzgoogolplex it is googolplex^googolplex
What does a googolplex look like?
Googolplex is usually written 10googol. Also 1010 to the 100th power or 10^{10^{100}} If you were to type the number googolplex out using times new roman size 1 font then the number would be about 20 times the length of this universe. (Seriously). Googolplex is the second largest number. Googolplexian is the largest number.
Is there a number that has a googolplex zeros?
Googolduplex (and some variations).See related links.The numbers actually are googol and googolplex. Google is the website. See related link for an idea of the scale of googol and googolplex, especially the part where Carl Sagan explains that to write out the number googolplex would require more space than is in the known universe.
What is a googolplex?
In mathematics, a googol is 10100 (10 to the power of 100), or the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. A googolplex is 10googol, or the number 1 followed by a googol of zeros. A googol and a googolplex are both so large that if one was able to count at lightspeed (i.e. in one second, you can count from 1 to 186,000), it would still take you approximately 1015 years to count to googol and 1018 years to count to googolplex. Both amounts of time are longer than the universe is estimated to have been around. A number larger still than a googolplex is the Graham's number, which is so large that not even power towers can be used to write it out (while a googolplex can also be written as 1010100, Graham's number can't be written with exponents). Graham's number is so large that if you add all the atoms in the universe together, you would still not get to it. But there is a way to calculate Graham's Number. 5 Up arrows^3 equal G1 but that's not Graham's Number 6 uparrows^3 equal G2 so 69 up arrows^3 equal Grahams number
Is googolplex higher than infinity?
Mathematically = No. Googolplex is a number, and you can do all the mathematical operations with it. For example: (2 googolplex) plus (2 googolplex) = 4 googolplex. Infinity is more than any number you can write, and you can't do any mathematical operations with it. Example: (Infinity) divided by (3,000) = still infinity. Another example (I can't resist this): (Infinity) divided by (googolplex) = still infinity. But in our physical universe, nothing is infinite! Here's an example. If you were to fill the universe (its entire volume) with particles and with no empty spaces, it would take about 10^80 particles. Therefore you wouldn't even have enough space in the universe to write the number googolplex!
Is Google plex actually a number?
No, but a "googolplex" is. It is equal to 10googol, a googol being 10100. In other words, a googolplex is equal to 101000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000. Writing that number out in it's full form is impossible, as there is not enough storage space in the world for it. In fact, if you were to attempt to write out the number, there would not be enough space in the universe to write it. It is however a number, despite the impossibility of truly conceiving it's size.
How many zeros are in googolplex?
AnswerA googol is 1 with 100 zeros.A googolplex is 1 with a googol of zeros.A googolplex is 10 to the power of a googol. In other words, it is 10000000...for a googol amount of times.A googolplex is the number 1 followed by 10100 zerosPer an astronomy show called Cosmic Journeys, if you wrote out all of the zeros of a googolplex in tiny 1 point font, it would stretch beyond the diameter of the observable Universe.
How big would it be if you had a googolplex of atoms?
There are fewer than a googol atoms in the known universe so a googolplex atoms would be outrageously huge.
What is googolplex written out?
It is true. There are thought to be around 1080 atoms in the observable universe. Googolplex is 1 followed by a googol zeros (10100 zeros). So you would have one atom with which to write approximately 1020 (100 quintillion) zeros!
Is googolplex the biggest number in the world?
Googolplex is not the biggest number in the world because numbers go on into infinity.Googolplex is usually considered to be the highest namednumber in the world, but there are those who disagree. The prefix -plex means to make that number before it the exponent where the power is 10. (X-plex=10x) So you could theoretically just add another -plex to googolplex and you get googolplexplex or 10 to the googolplex power. And you could keep adding as many -plex's as you want! The -plex formula works with any number so, for example, fourplex would be 104 or 10,000.
Is there a number larger than googolplex?
Yes. One googolplex and one. No, though people may say infinity is the largest number because it goes on forever but infinity is NOT a number. Googolplex is the biggest known number which can be measured as = 10^(10^100) or 10^10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Thinking of this another way, consider printing the digits of a googolplex in unreadable, one-point font. One-point font is 0.35145989 mm per digit, so it would take about 3.5 × 1096 meters to write a googolplex in one-point font. The observable universe is estimated to be 8.80 × 1026 meters, or 93 billion light-years in diameter so the distance required to write the necessary zeroes is longer than the estimated universe, so it would not be possible, let alone physically possible to write this number.
How many zeros in a googolplex?
your moms weight, a million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just kidding, but there are literally a million zeros in a googolplex * * * * * There are a lot more than a million 0s. In fact there are exactly one googol 0s. ******* To be more precise there are exactly 1010100 Zeros in a googolplex.
