In mathematics, infinity is not a number but a concept representing something endless or unbounded. Therefore, there is no specific number that comes before infinity in the traditional sense of numerical order. Infinity is often considered as a limit or a point beyond which numbers or values cannot go, rather than a specific numerical value.

Infinity is not a real number, it is an expression used to determine a continuous cycle that goes on forever, so there cannot be a number before infinity.

What is the number before negative infinity?

Negative infinity plus one.


Has anyone counted to infinity before?

No. Because infinity is not actually a number, but rather an indication of a limitless amount, it is mathematically impossible to count to infinity.


The number before infinity?

Infinity itself isn't a number in the conventional sence therefore not only is there everything before it there is nothing Ie. If 10,000 were the value of infinity I could add 1 to it and that would become infinity so unless somebody finds the point at which numbers stop ascending there will never be a value before infinity, find ding that point is impossible because as I have said before if you pick a number you can always add 1 to it.


What is the number right before infinity?

There is no number right before infinity. One could say that the number before infinity is "infinity minus one", but you cannot use normal subtraction with infinity. Infinity - 1 is still mathematically defined as infinity, as is Infinity + 1. Perhaps the question is referring to the largest number with its own name (other than infinity, which, as previously stated, is not technically a number). A googol is often cited as this number. A googol is defined to be a 1 with a hundred zeroes after it. Alternatively, a googolplex might qualify for the title of largest number with its own name, being a 1 with a googol zeroes after it. A couple of quick side notes are in order here: There are not a googolplex atoms in the visible universe. It is an extremely big number. The search engine company Google named their company after a googol, because of vast amount of information that they process and organize.


What is before infinite?

Infinity minus 1-you can't really express the number,in the same way you can't express infinity.
