1: ONE

Reaching one feels similar to reaching zero, but remember we’ve only traveled a
ridiculously small fraction of the distance from zero to sasquatch. One is the
multiplicative identity (as well as the exponential one)In fact, it’s even one of
the fundamental constants! One is also the boundary between small and large
numbers, according to Sbiis Saibian. So now we’re officially in googology
territory!
1+1/10100: ONE PLUS A GOOGOL-MINUTIA
This number is also known as
1.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
0000000000000000001.
1.414…: SQUARE ROOT OF TWO
The length of a diagonal of a square. This is an example of an irrational number
arising in geometry.
1.618…: PHI
2: TWO
Our second positive integer! But at this rate it will take 4*10100 entries to reach
a googol! But putting that aside, two represents a pair, and it is the only even
prime number.
2.718…: E
The amount of money you get in a year with a continuously compounded 100% interest
rate. E is one of the five fundamental constants.
3: THREE
Three is the first odd prime number. Fun fact: Pythagoras thought 3 was the most
perfect digit.
3.141…: PI
The ratio of a circle’s circumference and its diameter. This is why pi
radians is equal to 180 degrees. Pi is the largest fundamental constant.
4: FOUR
Four is 2+2, 2*2, 2^2, 2^^2, and so on. This is why BEAF outputs 4 when its inputs
are 2.
5: FIVE
5 is the number of fingers on one hand, and half of 10, which is why it seems so
round.
EPOCH 3: LOWER-CLASS 1
(6 to 100)
6: SIX
We end this epoch with a perfect number (literally.) In fact, some people tried to
explain why God took 6 days to create the world by the fact that 6 is perfect. 6 is
also equal to 1+2+3 and 1*2*3. Sadly, 1^2^3 equals 1. 6 is the highest number of
objects most of us can recognize instantly. Class 0 numbers can be recognized
instantly, so this is the end of class 0!
6.283…: TAU
Tau is equal to 2pi. It is the number of radians in a circle, and it has been
proposed as a replacement for pi.
Awesome music named after tau (not a rickroll, I promise)
7: SEVEN
7 is the number of days in a week, and the last digit of Graham’s number. Some
periodic tables are 7 periods high.
8: EIGHT
The number of bits in a byte, because 8 is a power of 2. As a consequence of this,
there are 256 = 2^8 possible bytes.
9: NINE
Nine is the highest digit in base. Higher digits (such as in hexadecimal) must be
represented by letters.
9.869…: GARPI
Surprisingly, this number is rare, but it appears in a few places, such as the
volume of a torus.
10: TEN
Ten is an important number, mainly for it being the base of our number system. That
is why it is a common number in googology. The periodic table is 10 periods high
(including the lanthanides/actinides) The SI prefix for this number is “deka-”
11: ELEVEN
Eleven has many interesting properties, because it is one more than our base. One
property is that it has an easy divisibility rule, “add and subtract the digits
alternately.”
12: TWELVE
12 is often used to group things in, such as 12 months in a year, 12 eggs in a
dozen, etc.

also the stack size of some items in Minecraft.
17: SEVENTEEN
18: EIGHTEEN
The periodic table is 18 groups wide.
19: NINETEEN
20: TWENTY
20 is also called a score.
21: ELEVENTEEN
This number is strange: it is not its English name. This is because “twenty-one” is
made of two parts, “twenty” and “one”, which is why it is not a googolism.
22: TWELVETEEN
22.459…: PI^E
This number is smaller than e^pi.
23.140…: E^PI
This number is larger than pi^e.

The number of states in the USA.
60: SIXTY
A common number for grouping: There are sixty seconds in a minute, and sixty
minutes in an hour.
64: STACK
The stack size for most items in Minecraft. 64 is used in the definition in
Graham’s number.
70: SEVENTY
80: EIGHTY
81: GARNINE

this the boundary between small and large class 1 numbers. The SI prefix for this
number is “hecto-”
110: ELEVENTY
111 is called eleventy-one in the Lord of the Rings.
118: PERIODIC TABLE NUMBER

120 is the fifth factorial. It’s also the number of cells in some periodic tables.
121: GARELEVEN
144: GROSS
Also known as gartwelve.
169: BAKER’S GROSS
A gross is 12 squared, and a baker’s dozen is 13, so this is what a baker’s gross
would be.
196: POULTER’S GROSS
216: GOOGOIJI
Googo-x (x is in Roman numerals) is 2x^x.
225: GARFIFTEEN
256: HEIGHT LIMIT

in a 8-bit integer. It is the height limit in Minecraft.
360: CIRCLE NUMBER

the sum of the squares of the first seven primes.
777: LUCKY NUMBER
999: SESQUIBEAST
1000 minus 1.
1000: THOUSAND
The zeroth “-illion”. For some scale, 1000 cookies would fill two backpacks if
packed together, cover a bathroom if laid on the floor, and nearly stretch across a
football field if laid end to end! The SI prefix for this number is “kilo-”.
1337: LEET
This is an internet meme number because of leetspeak.
1385.455…: PIPLEX
This irrational number is equal to 10^pi.
1500: SESQUITHOUSAND
1728: GREAT GROSS

2020: CURRENT YEAR
2500: GARFIFTY
3125: FZFIVE
4096: BLOCK
The volume of a Minecraft block in pixels. Equal to 2^12, 4^6, 8^4, 16^3, and 64^2,
the first number expressible as a perfect power in 5 different ways.

Fuga-X is equal to X^(X^(X-1)).
20000: EYELASH MITE
The first Saibianism! Sbiis Saibian names googolisms after small things because the
numbers are small in the world of googology.
32767: 16-BIT LIMIT
This is the highest possible 16-bit integer. 16-bit integers have largely been
replaced by 32-bit integers.
