Googol
The name 'googol' was invented in the 1930s, by a child (the mathematician Edward Kasners nine-year-old nephew) who was asked to think up a name for a very big number, namely, 1 with a hundred zeros after it.
googolplex
A googolplex is the number 10googol, i.e. 10(10100), which can also be written as the number 1 followed by a googol zeroes (i.e. 10100 zeros). In pure mathematics, the magnitude of a googolplex could be related to other forms of large number notation such as tetration, Knuth's up-arrow notation, Steinhaus-Moser notation, or Conway chained arrow notat In 1938, Edward Kasner's nine-year-old nephew, Milton Sirotta, coined the term googol, then proposed the further term googolplex to be "one, followed by writing zeroes until you get tired". Kasner decided to adopt a more formal definition "because different people get tired at different times and it would never do to have Carnera be a better mathematician than Dr. Einstein, simply because he had more endurance and could write for longer".[1] It thus became standardized to 10googol.
zeroes of googol
googol: 10100, or 1 followed by 100 zeros 10, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000
Zeroes of googolplex
googolplex: 1010100, or 10googol, or 1 followed by a googol zeros 10,ooo, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 Many more because is
10
googol
So the largest number is googolplex and in future googol will be the largest number
