  2. Googol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googol

    The decay time for a supermassive black hole of roughly 1 galaxy-mass (10 11 solar masses) due to Hawking radiation is on the order of 10 100 years. [7] Therefore, the heat death of an expanding universe is lower-bounded to occur at least one googol years in the future. A googol is considerably smaller than a centillion. [8]

  3. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    On scientific calculators, it is usually known as "SCI" display mode. In scientific notation, nonzero numbers are written in the form. or m times ten raised to the power of n, where n is an integer, and the coefficient m is a nonzero real number (usually between 1 and 10 in absolute value, and nearly always written as a terminating decimal).

  4. Googolplex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googolplex

    In the PBS science program Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, Episode 9: "The Lives of the Stars", astronomer and television personality Carl Sagan estimated that writing a googolplex in full decimal form (i.e., "10,000,000,000...") would be physically impossible, since doing so would require more space than is available in the known universe.

  5. Normalized number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalized_number

    Normalized number. In applied mathematics, a number is normalized when it is written in scientific notation with one non-zero decimal digit before the decimal point. [1] Thus, a real number, when written out in normalized scientific notation, is as follows: where n is an integer, are the digits of the number in base 10, and is not zero.

  6. Power of 10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_10

    Sometimes written in the form: m × 10 n. Or more compactly as: 10 n. This is generally used to denote powers of 10. Where n is positive, this indicates the number of zeros after the number, and where the n is negative, this indicates the number of decimal places before the number. As an example: 10 5 = 100,000 [1] 10 −5 = 0.00001 [2]

  7. Orders of magnitude (numbers) - Wikipedia

    1/52! chance of a specific shuffle Mathematics: The chances of shuffling a standard 52-card deck in any specific order is around 1.24 × 10 −68 (or exactly 1 ⁄ 52!) [4] Computing: The number 1.4 × 10 −45 is approximately equal to the smallest positive non-zero value that can be represented by a single-precision IEEE floating-point value.

  9. Decimal representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_representation

    Every decimal representation of a rational number can be converted to a fraction by converting it into a sum of the integer, non-repeating, and repeating parts and then converting that sum to a single fraction with a common denominator. For example, to convert. 8.123 {\textstyle \pm 8.123 {\overline {4567}}} to a fraction one notes the lemma:
