Names of larger numbers, however, have a tenuous, artificial existence, rarely found outside definitions, lists, and discussions of how large numbers are named. Even well-established names like sextillion are rarely used, since in the context of science, including astronomy, where such large numbers often occur, they are nearly always written ...
The number of cells in the human body (estimated at 3.72 × 10 13), or 37.2 trillion/37.2 T [3] The number of bits on a computer hard disk (as of 2024, typically about 10 13, 1–2 TB), or 10 trillion/10T; The number of neuronal connections in the human brain (estimated at 10 14), or 100 trillion/100 T
The decay time for a supermassive black hole of roughly 1 galaxy-mass (10 11 solar masses) due to Hawking radiation is on the order of 10 100 years. [7] Therefore, the heat death of an expanding universe is lower-bounded to occur at least one googol years in the future. A googol is considerably smaller than a centillion. [8]
A list of articles about numbers (not about numerals). Topics include powers of ten, notable integers, prime and cardinal numbers, and the myriad system.
Its seems, based on this article, that a centillion is more than everything but less than infinity. Sean7phil 19:17, 16 November 2009 (UTC) "The total number of atoms (or even subatomic particles) in the entire universe does not even come near to either value of a centillion." A sourceless claim, unprovable at this time, and irrelevant.
Such a number is algebraic and can be expressed as the sum of a rational number and the square root of a rational number. Constructible number: A number representing a length that can be constructed using a compass and straightedge. Constructible numbers form a subfield of the field of algebraic numbers, and include the quadratic surds.
The highest number in this series listed in modern dictionaries is centillion, which is 10 to the 303rd power. [1] The interim powers of one thousand between vigintillion and centillion do not have standardized names, nor do any higher powers, but there are many ad hoc extensions in use.
The long and short scales are two powers of ten number naming systems that are consistent with each other for smaller numbers, but are contradictory for larger numbers. [1] [2] Other numbering systems, particularly in East Asia and South Asia, have large number naming that differs from both the long and short scales.
