A googolplex is the large number 10 googol, ... Written out in ordinary decimal notation, it is 1 followed by 10 100 zeroes; that is, a 1 followed by a googol of zeroes.

This sequence is the same as that of the residues (mod n) of a googolplex up until the 17th position. Cultural impact Widespread sounding of the word occurs through the name of the company Google , with the name "Google" being an accidental misspelling of "googol" by the company's founders, [ 9 ] which was picked to signify that the search ...
For a number too large to write down in the Conway chained arrow notation it size can be described by the length of that chain, for example only using elements 10 in the chain; in other words, one could specify its position in the sequence 10, 10→10, 10→10→10, ..
The googolplex then, is a specific finite number, with so many zeros after the 1 that the number is a googol. A googolplex is much bigger than a googol. You will get some idea of the size of this very large but finite number from the fact that there would not be enough room to write it, if you went to the farthest star, touring all the nebulae ...
A googolplex cannot be written out; it would produce a line of digits 4.7 * 10^69 times the known universe's measurement according to the article in an unreadable 1-point font. Georgia guy 20:34, 20 April 2006 (UTC) Yes. That's the point. Any site claiming to have a googleplex written out is obviously not what it says it is, right?
hang on, we do write this in decimal above don't we? Do we mean that a gp is greater than the no of atoms? 212.42.97.53 11:49, 7 Oct 2003 (UTC) A googol can be written in decimal, however a googolplex can not because it contains a googol number of zeros- meaning it has more zeros than all the atoms in the universe.
To write googolplex you need to write a "1" followed by 10^100 zeros. So you really need 10^100 "boxes" to write the number itself. And as you said, there are ~10^183 Planck spaces in the universe, assuming we can somehow "write" a zero in each of them, we would be able to write Googolplex.
