    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers

    The naming procedure for large numbers is based on taking the number n occurring in 10 3n+3 (short scale) or 10 6n (long scale) and concatenating Latin roots for its units, tens, and hundreds place, together with the suffix -illion. In this way, numbers up to 10 3·999+3 = 10 3000 (short scale) or 10 6·999 = 10 5994 (long scale

    To compare numbers in scientific notation, say 5×10 4 and 2×10 5, compare the exponents first, in this case 5 > 4, so 2×10 5 > 5×10 4. If the exponents are equal, the mantissa (or coefficient) should be compared, thus 5×10 4 > 2×10 4 because 5 > 2.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_large_numbers

    The ultimate in large numbers was, until recently, the concept of infinity, a number defined by being greater than any finite number, and used in the mathematical theory of limits. However, since the 19th century, mathematicians have studied transfinite numbers , numbers which are not only greater than any finite number, but also, from the ...
