What is 10 to the 28th power called?

Answer 1

38

Answer 2

10 to the 28th power is called ten octillion. In scientific notation, it is written as 1 x 10^28, where the exponent 28 indicates the number of zeros following the digit 1. This number is extremely large and is often used in astronomical and mathematical contexts to represent vast quantities.

Answer 3

First, we answer the question, what is 10 to the positive 28th power called. The powers of 1000 are given -illion names: million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, etc. These are 1000 to the second, third, fourth, fifth, etc., power. Thus, 10 to the 28th is 10 to the first times 10 to the 27th, the latter of which is 1000 to the ninth. One less than nine is eight, so 10 to the 27th is called an octillion. Thus, 10 to the 28th is ten octillion. Negative powers mean reciprocals, or multiplicative inverses, so 10 to the negative 28th is one ten-octillionth.

Answer 4

In the short scale, 1028 (10 followed by 28 zeroes) is ten octillion.

In the long scale, 1028 is ten thousand quadrillion.
