Best Answer

The answer depends on the number of binary digits (BITS) in the word. The largest 8-BIT hexadecimal word will be 16^8 -1 = 4,294,967,295.Nowadays, 32 and 64 bit words are common: a 64 bit word could hold a number greater than 1.1*10^77 while a 128 bit word (not yet in common use) would exceed 1.3*10^154 or a Googol^1.5
