Large numbers in mathematics may be large and finite, like a googol, or the large infinite cardinal numbers which have a subcategory here. Subcategories This category has the following 2 subcategories, out of 2 total.
Two naming scales for large numbers have been used in English and other European languages since the early modern era: the long and short scales.Most English variants use the short scale today, but the long scale remains dominant in many non-English-speaking areas, including continental Europe and Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America.
A list of articles about numbers (not about numerals). Topics include powers of ten, notable integers, prime and cardinal numbers, and the myriad system.
A function with a vertical asymptote is not helpful in defining a very large number, although the function increases very rapidly: one has to define an argument very close to the asymptote, i.e. use a very small number, and constructing that is equivalent to constructing a very large number, e.g. the reciprocal.
Such a number is algebraic and can be expressed as the sum of a rational number and the square root of a rational number. Constructible number: A number representing a length that can be constructed using a compass and straightedge. Constructible numbers form a subfield of the field of algebraic numbers, and include the quadratic surds.
In practice, numbers that are larger than any considered for practical purposes by non-specialists are clearly large. The intent of this category is to use large in that sense. The (annual) GNP of the US is trillions of dollars, the total of GNPs is tens of trillions of dollars, and the GNP of Japan is trillions of dollars and hundreds of ...
The following is a list of all currently known Mersenne primes and perfect numbers, along with their corresponding exponents p. As of 2024, there are 52 known Mersenne primes (and therefore perfect numbers), the largest 18 of which have been discovered by the distributed computing project Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search, or GIMPS.
