Is there such an amount as a gazillion?

Answer 1

== No. That is a made up number. There is a googleplex, though. == Yes, but a gazillion is like a zillion. It's defined as a large but unspecified number. We use terms like this to make a point. Here are some examples: There are a zillion galaxies in the universe! There are a gazillion bacteria floating around in the earth's atmosphere. You get the point here. We use these "numbers" in communication, but not in mathematics. They lack reference to a definite quantity, and are unsuitable to specifically measure or count things.
