There is no number greater than infinity. Infinity is defined to be greater than any number, so there can not be two numbers, both infinity, that are different.

However, when dealing with limits, one can approach a non-infinite value for a function involving infinity. Take, for example, 2x divided by x, when x is infinity. That value is indeterminate, because infinity divided by infinity is defined as indeterminate, and 2 times infinity is still infinity.

But, if you look at the limit of 2x divided by x, as x approaches infinity, you do get a value, and that value is 2. This does not mean that 2x when x is infinity is twice infinity, it just means that, right before x becomes infinity, the ratio is right before 2.

Infinity should not be thought of as a number, but rather as a direction. Whereas a number represents a specific quantity, infinity does not define given quantity. (If you started counting really fast for billions of years, you would never get to infinity.) There are, however, different "sizes of infinity." Aleph-null, for example, is the infinity that describes the size of the natural numbers (0,1,2,3,4....) The infinity that describes the size of the real numbers is much larger than aleph-null, for between any two natural numbers, there are infinite real numbers.

Anyway, to improve upon the answer above, it is not meaningful to say "when x is infinity," because, as explained above, no number can "be" infinity. A number can approach infinity, that is to say, get larger and larger and larger, but it will never get there. Because infinity is not a number, there is no point in asking what number is more than infinity.

Any number divided by infinity?

Infinity is more a concept than a number. But the answer would be a number that is so infinitesimally small as to basically equal zero.

Is there more than googolplex?

Yes there is, you can add a number to it or multiply it by a number more than one for example, and there is also the number infinity which is obviously larger. :)


Is infinity an even number?

Infinity is not a number in the ordinary sense of the word. It is neither odd nor even. Here is an interesting paradox about the parity of infinity: If you multiply all integers together you get infinity. So 2 is a factor of infinity and so infinity must be even. But then one more than this number is also infinity and this new infinity must, therefore, be odd!


Is there any number that is more than infinity?

its gazillion gatrillion gajillion frezintillion and the maniest of all frejintilion cause googol and googleplex was lower than infinity

What number is larger than infinity?

None. Infinity never ends, so nothing can be larger than it.


Show me one less than infinity?

one less than infinity cn be equibelant to infinity but less than infinity at the same time because it is one"LESS" than infinity its still way more than quadrillion(thousand trillions) and a septillion and a sextillion (im 9)


Is infinity larger than Gogol?

Yes, except that infinity is not a number.


What is 1 minus infinity?

Any specific number minus infinity is -∞ Note if you try to subtract infinity from infinity, the answer is undefined - because infinity is a "cardinality" rather than a specific number.
