He may have been inspired by the contemporary comic strip character Barney Google. [2] Kasner popularized the concept in his 1940 book Mathematics and the Imagination . [ 3 ] Other names for this quantity include ten duotrigintillion on the short scale (commonly used in English speaking countries), [ 4 ] ten thousand sexdecillion on the long ...

An increase of $0.15 on a price of $2.50 is an increase by a fraction of 0.15 / 2.50 = 0.06. Expressed as a percentage, this is a 6% increase. While many percentage values are between 0 and 100, there is no mathematical restriction and percentages may take on other values. [4]
For any nonzero integer n, one may define the 2-adic order of n to be the number of times n is divisible by 2. This description does not work for 0; no matter how many times it is divided by 2, it can always be divided by 2 again. Rather, the usual convention is to set the 2-order of 0 to be infinity as a special case. [30]
a prime number has only 1 and itself as divisors; that is, d(n) = 2; a composite number has more than just 1 and itself as divisors; that is, d(n) > 2; a highly composite number has a number of positive divisors that is greater than any lesser number; that is, d(n) > d(m) for every positive integer m < n.
Milli (symbol m) is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of one thousandth (10 −3). [1] Proposed in 1793, [2] and adopted in 1795, the prefix comes from the Latin mille, meaning one thousand (the Latin plural is milia).
5040 (five thousand [and] forty) is the natural number following 5039 and preceding 5041.. It is a factorial (7!), the 8th superior highly composite number, [1] the 19th highly composite number, [2] an abundant number, the 8th colossally abundant number [3] and the number of permutations of 4 items out of 10 choices (10 × 9 × 8 × 7 = 5040).
In such a context, "simplifying" a number by removing trailing zeros would be incorrect. The number of trailing zeros in a non-zero base-b integer n equals the exponent of the highest power of b that divides n. For example, 14000 has three trailing zeros and is therefore divisible by 1000 = 10 3, but not by 10 4.
