What is 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000?

Answer 1

It's a '1' with 96 zeros after it ... a daunting challenge for a callow youth with

nothing else to do on a rainy day.

Scientists and engineers run into inconveniently large and small numbers, like

this one, every day, and they invented a much easier way to write these

numbers, a long time ago. In so-called "scientific notation", this number is

1096which, you must agree, is a lot easier to write, remember, and tell other people about.

This particular number has no name. Since it's larger than the total number of

elementary particles in the observable universe, it doesn't come up too often.

But if you want to relate it to a number that has a name, and we can't imagine

why you wouldn't, you can call it

1 x 10-4 googol

or 0.0001 googol.

That will make you appear mathematically savvy even though you're not.
