-yllion (pronounced / aɪ lj ən /) [1] is a proposal from Donald Knuth for the terminology and symbols of an alternate decimal superbase [clarification needed] system. In it, he adapts the familiar English terms for large numbers to provide a systematic set of names for much larger numbers.
A value is represented as a decimal fraction times a multiple power of 10. The factor is intended to make reading comprehension easier than a lengthy series of zeros ...
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]
The highest numerical value banknote ever printed was a note for 1 sextillion pengő (10 21 or 1 milliard bilpengő as printed) printed in Hungary in 1946. In 2009, Zimbabwe printed a 100 trillion (10 14) Zimbabwean dollar note, which at the time of printing was worth about US$30. [13]
A list of articles about numbers (not about numerals). Topics include powers of ten, notable integers, prime and cardinal numbers, and the myriad system.
9 1/2; 9 + 1 ⁄ 2 9 + 1 / 2 Numbers with a decimal point may be read as a cardinal number, then "and", then another cardinal number followed by an indication of the significance of the second cardinal number (mainly U.S.); or as a cardinal number, followed by "point", and then by the digits of the fractional part. The indication of ...
1/52! chance of a specific shuffle Mathematics: The chances of shuffling a standard 52-card deck in any specific order is around 1.24 × 10 −68 (or exactly 1 ⁄ 52!) [4] Computing: The number 1.4 × 10 −45 is approximately equal to the smallest positive non-zero value that can be represented by a single-precision IEEE floating-point value.
A natural number in the range of 10 126 and -10 126 is, as well as some larger numbers such as one centillion and one millinillion. zero: Optional. The value to use when the number is 0. Default is "zero" for cardinal numbers, "zeroth" for ordinal numbers.
