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.

How is googolplex the biggest number if the are infinity?
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.
