The name of a number 10 3n+3, where n is greater than or equal to 1000, is formed by concatenating the names of the numbers of the form 10 3m+3, where m represents each group of comma-separated digits of n, with each but the last "-illion" trimmed to "-illi-", or, in the case of m = 0, either "-nilli-" or "-nillion". [17]
So too are the thousands, with the number of thousands followed by the word "thousand". The number one thousand may be written 1 000 or 1000 or 1,000; larger numbers are written for example 10 000 or 10,000 for ease of reading. European languages that use the comma as a decimal separator may correspondingly use the period as a thousands separator.
Thus is obtained the somewhat counterintuitive result that a number x can be so large that, in a way, x and 10 x are "almost equal" (for arithmetic of large numbers see also below). If the superscript of the upward arrow is large, the various representations for large numbers can be applied to this superscript itself.
This number is sometimes called Pervushin's number. Mathematics: Goldbach's conjecture has been verified for all n ≤ 4 × 10 18 by a project which computed all prime numbers up to that limit. [49] Computing – Manufacturing: An estimated 6 × 10 18 transistors were produced worldwide in 2008. [50]
Hyphenate all numbers under 100 that need more than one word. For example, $73 is written as “seventy-three,” and the words for $43.50 are “Forty-three and 50/100.”
A list of articles about numbers (not about numerals). Topics include powers of ten, notable integers, prime and cardinal numbers, and the myriad system.
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 mathematicians dedicated to naming large numbers. Rayo's number has been claimed to be the largest named number. [5]
