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.

Great question. You're right. "Googolplex" is not the biggest number.-- "Googol" = 10100-- "Googolplex" = 10googol-- "Googolplexian" = 10googolplex-- "Googolnormous" = 10googolplexian (not really; I made that one up just now)-- "Graham numbers" . . . We don't know anything about them, but they're bigger.-- "Infinity" . . . technically, not a number; defined as "more than the largest number".But . . . the catch is: There is no such thing as "largest number". Whatever numberyou want to describe, no matter how big it is, all I have to do is add ' 1 ' to yours,and I have a number that's bigger than your number.
Googolplex is a number, googleplex is not. But it is far, far from the highest number.
The number 10 to the 10th to the 100th power is called a googolplex. This number has not officially been accepted by the math world as it is a one "with as many zeroes as you can write" next to it.
Certainly. There are an infinite number of them. One of them is [ negative googolplex - 1 ] .
A googol is the number 1 followed by one hundred zeroes, and a googolplex is the number 1 followed by a googol zeroes. A googolplexplex is the number 1 followed by a googolplex zeroes, and so on.
