   Large numbers, far beyond those encountered in everyday life—such as simple counting or financial transactions—play a crucial role in various domains.These expansive quantities appear prominently in mathematics, cosmology, cryptography, and statistical mechanics.

3. Googol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googol

   Kasner used it to illustrate the difference between an unimaginably large number and infinity, and in this role it is sometimes used in teaching mathematics. To put in perspective the size of a googol, the mass of an electron, just under 10 -30 kg, can be compared to the mass of the visible universe, estimated at between 10 50 and 10 60 kg. [ 5 ]

   Sagan gave an example that if the entire volume of the observable universe is filled with fine dust particles roughly 1.5 micrometers in size (0.0015 millimeters), then the number of different combinations in which the particles could be arranged and numbered would be about one googolplex.

5. Names of large numbers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers

   Names of larger numbers, however, have a tenuous, artificial existence, rarely found outside definitions, lists, and discussions of how large numbers are named. Even well-established names like sextillion are rarely used, since in the context of science, including astronomy, where such large numbers often occur, they are nearly always written ...

6. History of large numbers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_large_numbers

   Far larger finite numbers than any of these occur in modern mathematics. For instance, Graham's number is too large to reasonably express using exponentiation or even tetration. For more about modern usage for large numbers, see Large numbers. To handle these numbers, new notations are created and used. There is a large community of ...
