The minimum number of cards that must be dealt, from an arbitrarily shuffled deck of 52 cards, to guarantee that three cards are from some same suit is 9.
The basis for 9 is that the first four cards could be from four different suits, the next four cards could be from four different suits, and the ninth card is guaranteed to match the suit of two of the previously dealt cards. The minimum number, without the guarantee, is 3, but the probability of that is only 0.052, or about 1 in 20.

In Statistics the Five Number Summary is the sample's minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile and maximum.
Consider the data: 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 7, 11, 13 , 19 (arranged in ascending order) Minimum: 1 Maximum: 19 Range = Maximum - Minimum = 19 - 1 = 18 Median = 4 (the middle value) 1st Quartile/Lower Quartile = 2 (the middle/median of the data below the median which is 4) 3rd Quartile/Upper Quartile = 11 (the middle/median of the data above the median which is 4) InterQuartile Range (IQR) = 3rd Quartile - 1st Quartile = 11 - 2 = 9

The odds are... remote. This is a factorial problem to calculate the answer you take how many options the first "dealt" card has of being. In this case the first card has a 1-in-52 chance of being the Ace of Spades (the "highest" card in a deck.) The next card has a 1-in-51 chance of being the Two of Spades, and so on. You calculate the odds of this happening my multiplying 52 by 51. So, the odds are 52 times 51 times 50 times 49 times 48 times... yadda yadda yadda until you get to one. The answer? The odd of taking a shuffled deck of cards, reshuffling it, and the dealing the cards back in the correct order are 1 in 806,581,751,709,439x10 to the 54th power. (septendecillion.) Or 80 unvigintillion. (80 followed by 66 zeroes). For the sake of comparison, conservative estimates put the number of stars in our galaxy at 100 Billion (100 followed by 9 zeroes) and the number of galaxies in the universe at the same number, making the number of potential stars in the universe at 10 sextilion (a 10 followed by 21 zeroes.)
A zillion is a fictitious name for an arbitrarily large number.
I suppose you mean "infinity". It is not really a number. Infinity is used with different meanings in different contexts. Sometimes it refers to a tendency, in the sense that a number can get arbitrarily large. If the number can get arbitrarily large, so can the number of zeros - so you might say that the answer is "infinitely many zeros".
Nothing, its simply an arbitrarily assigned number to identify that type of part.
There is a minimum number, it is one.
There is no such number. You can have arbitrarily large numbers with this property - therefore there is no largest.
The minimum oxidation number for nitrogen is -3.
There is no largest composite number. Nor is there a largest sequence of consecutive composite numbers - those sequences can become arbitrarily long.
the minimum number is 0
Potassium's minimum oxidation number is zero.Its maximum is plus one.
The minimum number of tables is 3.
The minimum number of tables is 3.
555 is an arbitrarily assigned part number for a general purpose programmable timer IC. The number itself has no special meaning.
