  2. Names of large numbers - Wikipedia

    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

    For example, class 5 is defined to include numbers between 10 10 10 10 6 and 10 10 10 10 10 6, which are numbers where X becomes humanly indistinguishable from X 2 [14] (taking iterated logarithms of such X yields indistinguishibility firstly between log(X) and 2log(X), secondly between log(log(X)) and 1+log(log(X)), and finally an extremely ...

    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 same suffix may be used with more than one category of number, as for example the orginary numbers secondary and tertiary and the distributive numbers binary and ternary. For the hundreds, there are competing forms: Those in -gent- , from the original Latin, and those in -cent- , derived from centi- , etc. plus the prefixes for 1 through 9 .

    [6] 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]

    In some places, the large number names were then applied to the smaller numbers, following the new punctuation scheme. Thus, in France and Italy, some scientists then began using billion to mean 10 9 , trillion to mean 10 12 , etc. [ 28 ] This usage formed the origins of the later short scale.
