Do You Know What is a Googol?

Nope, I did not mis-spell THE search engine.

A googol is a very huge number. It is actually 10¹⁰⁰ (which is 1 followed by 100 zeroes).

The term was popularized by Edward Kasner. On a walk with his nephews, Milton and Edwin Sirotta, Kasner asked for their ideas for a name for a very large number. Nine-year-old Milton suggested "googol."

Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the founders of Google, named their search engine after the term googol.

There is also googolplex - an even bigger number. A googolplex is equals to 10^googol (which is 1 followed by a googol zeroes).

Incidentally, the company headquarters for Google is known as the Googleplex (most likely a combination of Google and complex).
