Rayo's number is a large number named after Mexican philosophy professor Agustín Rayo which has been claimed to be the largest named number. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It was originally defined in a "big number duel" at MIT on 26 January 2007.
Graham's number was used by Graham in conversations with popular science writer Martin Gardner as a simplified explanation of the upper bounds of the problem he was working on. In 1977, Gardner described the number in Scientific American, introducing it to the general public. At the time of its introduction, it was the largest specific positive ...

999,983 = largest 6-digit prime number; 999,999 = repdigit. Rational numbers with denominators 7 and 13 have 6-digit repetends when expressed in decimal form, because 999999 is the smallest number one less than a power of 10 that is divisible by 7 and by 13, and it is the largest number in English not containing the letter 'l' in its name.
Number expressible with two tridecimal digits. 185: Smallest base which is not a perfect power (where generalized repunits can be factored algebraically) for which no generalized repunit primes are known. 196: Number expressible with two tetradecimal digits. 210: Smallest base such that all fractions 1 / 2 to 1 / 10 terminate. 225
1,099,511,627,776 bits (128 gibibytes) – estimated capacity of the Polychaos dubium genome, the largest known genome. The storage limit for ATA-1 compliant disks introduced in 1994. 1.6 × 10 12 bits (200 gigabytes) – capacity of a hard disk that would be considered average as of 2008.
