googol An extremely large number. The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, a young nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner (1878-1955), who said a googol was 1 followed by 100 zeros (10100). Since a googol is so large that it encompasses everything in the universe and then some, it just means a "gargantuan amount." An even larger amount is a googolplex. See Googleplex and Google.googol [′gü‚gȯl] (mathematics) A name for 10 to the power 100.

The Chuquet system for the naming of numbers goes on into larger and larger numbers, yet there is a special word for the name of a BIG number and that is called the Googol. As the superstitious know for a fact and the substitous deny as mere superstition, the numbers 7 and 13 influence our lives far more than any other number lower than a googol. |
