Well, first, I'm assuming that you are referring to "googolplex" and not "googleplex" as per your title (which actually refers the the internet Search Giant Google's Headquarters)

And to find out what a googolplex is, we first define a googol:

1 googol = 1 with 100 zeroes after it = 10 ^ 100

The history behind the naming of the googol came in 1938 when Edward Kasner wrote this number and showed it to his nine year old nephew Milton Sirotta, her response was, as the legend goes, "googol!", and thus the googol came into existence.

Now, what is a googolplex?

Well, 1 googolplex = 1 with a googol zeroes after it = 10 ^ (10 ^ 100)

That's a lot of zeroes!
