  2. Power of 10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_10

    Power of 10. Visualisation of powers of 10 from one to 1 billion. A power of 10 is any of the integer powers of the number ten; in other words, ten multiplied by itself a certain number of times (when the power is a positive integer). By definition, the number one is a power (the zeroth power) of ten. The first few non-negative powers of ten are:

  3. Googolplex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googolplex

    Therefore, it requires 10 94 such books to print all the zeros of a googolplex (that is, printing a googol zeros). If each book had a mass of 100 grams, all of them would have a total mass of 10 93 kilograms. In comparison, Earth's mass is 5.972 × 10 24 kilograms, the mass of the Milky Way galaxy is estimated at 2.5 × 10 42 kilograms, and the ...

  5. Googol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googol

    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. It is a ratio in the order of about 10 80 to 10 90, or at most one ten-billionth of a googol (0.00000001% of a googol).

  6. Skewes's number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewes's_number

    In number theory, Skewes's number is any of several large numbers used by the South African mathematician Stanley Skewes as upper bounds for the smallest natural number for which. where π is the prime-counting function and li is the logarithmic integral function. Skewes's number is much larger, but it is now known that there is a crossing ...

  7. Find first set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Find_first_set

    Find first set. In computer software and hardware, find first set ( ffs) or find first one is a bit operation that, given an unsigned machine word, [nb 1] designates the index or position of the least significant bit set to one in the word counting from the least significant bit position. A nearly equivalent operation is count trailing zeros ...
