  2. Googol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googol

    A googol is the large number 10 100 or ten to the power of one hundred. In decimal notation, it is written as the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros: 10, 000, 000 ...

    The number 10,000 is used to express an even larger approximate number, as in Hebrew רבבה r e vâvâh, [36] rendered into Greek as μυριάδες, and to English myriad. [37] Similar usage is found in the East Asian 萬 or 万 ( lit. 10,000; pinyin : wàn ), and the South Asian lakh ( lit. 100,000).

    The name of a number 10 3n+3, where n is greater than or equal to 1000, is formed by concatenating the names of the numbers of the form 10 3m+3, where m represents each group of comma-separated digits of n, with each but the last "-illion" trimmed to "-illi-", or, in the case of m = 0, either "-nilli-" or "-nillion". [17]

  5. Googolplex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googolplex

    A typical book can be printed with 10 6 zeros (around 400 pages with 50 lines per page and 50 zeros per line). Therefore, it requires 10 94 such books to print all the zeros of a googolplex (that is, printing a googol zeros). [4] If each book had a mass of 100 grams, all of them would have a total mass of 10 93 kilograms.

    A modification of Lagged-Fibonacci generators. A SWB generator is the basis for the RANLUX generator, [19] widely used e.g. for particle physics simulations. Maximally periodic reciprocals: 1992 R. A. J. Matthews [20] A method with roots in number theory, although never used in practical applications. KISS: 1993 G. Marsaglia [21]

    10,000,019 = smallest 8-digit prime number; 10,001,628 = smallest triangular number with 8 digits and the 4,472nd triangular number; 10,004,569 = 3163 2, the smallest 8-digit square

    So too are the thousands, with the number of thousands followed by the word "thousand". The number one thousand may be written 1 000 or 1000 or 1,000; larger numbers are written for example 10 000 or 10,000 for ease of reading. European languages that use the comma as a decimal separator may correspondingly use the period as a thousands separator.

  9. Random number generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation

    Dice are an example of a mechanical hardware random number generator. When a cubical die is rolled, a random number from 1 to 6 is obtained. Random number generation is a process by which, often by means of a random number generator (RNG), a sequence of numbers or symbols is generated that cannot be reasonably predicted better than by random chance.
