A googol is the large number 10 100 or ten to the power of one hundred. In decimal notation, it is written as the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros: 10, 000, 000 ...
The Indian system is decimal (base-10), same as in the West, and the first five orders of magnitude are named in a similar way: one (10 0), ten (10 1), one hundred (10 2), one thousand (10 3), and ten thousand (10 4). For higher powers of ten, naming diverges.
In 1920, Edward Kasner's nine-year-old nephew, Milton Sirotta, coined the term googol, which is 10 100, and then proposed the further term googolplex to be "one, followed by writing zeroes until you get tired". [1]
Later, French arithmeticians changed the words' meanings, adopting the short scale definition whereby three zeros rather than six were added at each step, so a billion came to denote a thousand million (10 9), a trillion became a million million (10 12), and so on. This new convention was adopted in the United States in the 19th century, but ...
For example "billion" may be easier to comprehend for some readers than "1,000,000,000". But, as names, a numeric value can be lengthy. For example, "2,345,789" is "two million, three hundred forty five thousand, seven hundred and eighty nine".
a thousand thousand units, and a byllion is worth a thousand thousand millions, and tryllion is worth a thousand thousand byllions, and a quadrillion is worth a thousand thousand tryllions, and so on for the others. And an example of this follows, a number divided up and punctuated as previously described, the whole number being 745324 tryllions,
