Who came up with the word googol?

Milton Sirotta.


What number was first used by nine year old Milton Sirotta in 1940?

The number first used by nine-year-old Milton Sirotta in 1940 is known as a "googol." A googol is represented as 10^100, a 1 followed by 100 zeros. This term was introduced by mathematician Edward Kasner, who asked his young nephew, Milton Sirotta, to come up with a name for such a large number.


Who invented the number googol?

The term was coined in 1938 by Milton Sirotta (1929--1980), nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, when he was nine years old.A googol is the large number 10100, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros in decimal representation.The founders of Google had intended to register it as Googol when they set up the company but inadvertently spelled it wrong and did not realize before it was too late.


What is googleplex and who came up with it?

Well, first, I'm assuming that you are referring to "googolplex" and not "googleplex" as per your title (which actually refers the the Internet Search Giant Google's Headquarters) And to find out what a googolplex is, we first define a googol: 1 googol = 1 with 100 zeroes after it = 10 ^ 100 The history behind the naming of the googol came in 1938 when Edward Kasner wrote this number and showed it to his nine year old nephew Milton Sirotta, her response was, as the legend goes, "googol!", and thus the googol came into existence. Now, what is a googolplex? Well, 1 googolplex = 1 with a googol zeroes after it = 10 ^ (10 ^ 100) That's a lot of zeroes!


What is the origin of the word google?

A2. It was the nephew of mathematician Edward Kastner, Milton Sirotta then aged 9, who came up with the name googolfor 10^100, and then googolplex for 10^googol.The company name Google was indeed supposed to be googol, but as the founders admit on their website, their spelling wasn't too hot when they came to fill in the company registration form.A1. A mathematician asked either his son or his nephew (don't recall which) to come up with a word that would mean ten to the power of 100. The lad came up with the word "google".


Who made the number Google?

The number has always existed but the term google was made up in 1938 by Milton Sirotta . No it was not. It was a tiny little boy that got a hard math problem.


Who made up the number googolplex?

In about 1920, Edward Kasner's nine-year-old nephew Milton Sirotta coined the term googol; Milton then proposed the further term googolplex to be "one, followed by writing zeroes until you get tired". Kasner decided to adopt a more formal definition "because different people get tired at different times and it would never do to have Carnera [a champion boxer] be a better mathematician than Dr. Einstein, simply because he had more endurance".


Why is googol a number?

Because someone was playing with numbers, and wanted a big one. Having come up with 10100 he asked his kid what she thought might be a name for a large number. She said googol.


Is there a number larger than a googol?

There is a higher number. It is Googol plex. It has a googol of zeros. There is also a 10Googolplex it has a googol plex of zeros. or search this up what is a alpha omega


How long will it take the Turing Google doodle to count up to a Googol?

Googol is not a real number.


How many decillions are in 1 googol?

In researching the answer, we found the following definitions on the www :1 decillion = 10331 googol = 10100So the number of decillion in 1 googol is10100 / 1033 = 10(100-33) = 1067We couldn't find a name for 1067. Apparently it doesn't come up very often.


What is a googol?

A googol is a 1 with 100 zeroes after it. Basically, it's this 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 or 10100. Googol History and facts... In 1938, mathematician Edward Kasner wanted to show his students that a number could be fantastically large - so big that it would boggle your mind- and still not reach anywhere near infinity. His number ended up being a 1 with a 100 zeros after it. Since it needed a name, he asked his nine-year-old nephew what it should be. Milton realized that a enormous number should have a silly name. The winner was googol. BTW, there's a number thats called a googolplex. Thats a 1 with a googol zeros after it. AMAZING, RIGHT?
