In this notation, powers of ten are expressed as 10 with a numeric superscript, e.g. "The X-ray emission of the radio galaxy is 1.3 × 10 45 joules." When a number such as 10 45 needs to be referred to in words, it is simply read out as "ten to the forty-fifth" or "ten to the forty-five". This is easier to say and less ambiguous than ...
The Indian numbering system is used in the Indian subcontinent (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka) to express large numbers.The terms lakh or 1,00,000 (one hundred thousand, written as 100,000 in Pakistan and outside the subcontinent) and crore or 1,00,00,000 [1] (ten million, written as 10,000,000 outside the subcontinent) are the most commonly used terms in ...
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). Carl Sagan pointed out that the total number of elementary particles in the universe is around 10 80 (the Eddington number ) and that if the whole universe were packed with neutrons so that there would be no empty space ...
For example, class 5 is defined to include numbers between 10 10 10 10 6 and 10 10 10 10 10 6, which are numbers where X becomes humanly indistinguishable from X 2 [14] (taking iterated logarithms of such X yields indistinguishibility firstly between log(X) and 2log(X), secondly between log(log(X)) and 1+log(log(X)), and finally an extremely ...
For number 0, Modern Standard Hindi is more inclined towards śūnya (a Sanskrit tatsama) and Standard Urdu is more inclined towards sifr (borrowed from Arabic), while the native tadbhava-form is sunnā in Hindustani. Sometimes the ardha-tatsama form śūn is also used (semi-learned borrowing).
The achievement of, a generally positive feat, three times in a game, or another achievement based on the number three [6] Several: 3 Three or more but not many. Small gross: 120 Ten dozen (10x12) [7] Great hundred: 120 Ten dozen (10x12) or six score (6x20), also known as long-hundred or twelfty [8] [9] None: 0 Zero Lakh: 100,000
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 5.97 × 10 24 kilograms [5], the mass of the Milky Way galaxy is estimated at 1.8 × 10 42 kilograms [6], and the total mass of all the stars in the observable universe is estimated at 2 × 10 52 kg.

The largest number named in Ancient Greek was the myriad myriad (written MM) or hundred million. In his Sand Reckoner, Archimedes of Syracuse used this quantity as the basis for a numeration system of large powers of ten, which he used to count grains of sand. [citation needed]
