Say the number of maximunssextillion Luccasantana ( talk) 22:57, 2 February 2024 (UTC) reply

That's not a real number. Black Yoshi ( Yoshi! | Yoshi's Eggs) 22:58, 2 February 2024 (UTC) reply

There is a reversed prime number (emirp) defined by Jens Kruse Andersen from Denmark ( http://primerecords.dk) that has 1089 digits. I don't seem to find a name for it in Wikipedia. 115.64.52.116 ( talk) 07:04, 16 March 2024 (UTC) reply

The table for googol and googolplex has UM as an authority, but it hasn't been mentioned before and has no link. I believe it's supposed to represent the HM reference, but it doesn't say that. 130.226.139.26 ( talk) 07:24, 22 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Fixed. Black Yoshi ( Yoshi! | Yoshi's Eggs) 12:20, 22 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Does this make 1,000 the zeroth base -illion, and 1 the negative first base -illion? 2601:1C0:847C:50C0:A54D:85AC:91BC:7681 ( talk) 15:29, 5 May 2024 (UTC) reply

In a sense yes, since a n-illion is 10³ⁿ⁺³. However, this observation is original research and we are right to leave it out of the article. Certes ( talk) 15:57, 5 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Quintillion has 18 zeros 77.100.228.242 ( talk) 19:32, 7 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Yes, as stated in the article. It can also have 30 zeros in long scale. Does something need to be amended? Certes ( talk) 21:42, 7 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Ten Duotrigintillion Is Also call Googol 10^100 77.100.228.242 ( talk) 19:34, 7 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Yes, as stated in the article. Certes ( talk) 21:46, 7 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Gargoogol has 200 Zeros 77.100.228.242 ( talk) 19:35, 7 May 2024 (UTC) reply

This number is documented on several wikis such as Fandom, but as user-contributed content it may not be a sufficiently reliable source to support inclusion in the article. Certes ( talk) 21:46, 7 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Disoge has 10 zeros 77.100.228.242 ( talk) 19:36, 7 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Does any reliable source use this term? Certes ( talk) 21:38, 7 May 2024 (UTC) reply

1,000 zeros Is so many 77.100.228.242 ( talk) 19:37, 7 May 2024 (UTC) reply

One YouTuber seems to think that "googolcrime" is a number, but they don't appear to be a reliable source. (Also, that ratio is 10⁹⁰⁰ rather than 10.) Certes ( talk) 21:40, 7 May 2024 (UTC) reply
