quadrillions

[Brett]

I like what Ray said of numbers, see below:

torturing someone in "eternal fire" for trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions of trillions of quadrillions of eons without end. ARE YOU CRAZY?

I am very interesting, if you know, what start with numbers like:

hundred thousand, million, billion, trillion, zillion, quadrillion, etc....

I cannot tell which zillion before trillion or trillion before zillion. Know what I mean?

Seem like no one know the numbers ?

Or is my question is hard to understand?

If anyone not know what to answer or not sure, no big deal .

Brett,

Was going to look this up for you when I read it but got called away and didn't get back to it. Here is what I found.

one thousand = 1,000

one hundred thousand = 100,000

one million = 1,000,000

one billion = 1,000,000,000

one trillion =  1,000,000,000,000

one quadrillion = 1,000,000,000,000,000

one quintillion = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000

Hope this helps.

Thanks Suzie!

Which one zillion do you know? Before or after trillion.

Is zillion a # or just slang???

A google is the largest # isn't it?  You take the largest # and you add 1 more to it.

So really there is no Largest #- theoretically you can always add one more.

Calling you mathmeticians & scientists (you know who you are)!

I am just very interesting the numbers from small to largest. That is just the way I am .

Brett,  just as gmik thought.  The term zillion is considered slang.

Indefinite and fictitious large numbers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Zillion)

By analogy to the names billion, trillion, and so forth for large powers of ten, words such as zillion and bazillion are often used as fictitious names for an unspecified, large number of indefinite size, or as part of a large, indefinite measurement. However, it is often used in children's literature. These words are often used in hyperbole. The size is dependent upon the context to which it is used, but can typically be considered large enough to be unfathomable by the average human mind.

Many similar words are used, such as jillion, ananillion, bajillion, squillion, skillion, gonillion, kabillion, kajillion, gajillion, umptillion, gagillion, gadzillion, godzillion, quillion, julillion, hojillion, and grillion.

Typically, these words are used in a humorous context, or in loose, unconfined conversation to present an un-guessably large number. It may also be used to impress someone with the concept of an ambiguous numerical enormousness.

That's interesting.
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you

The mathematician chooses to be quiet as you seem to have it pretty down good.  I am impressed with the non-mathematicians, they have a pretty good grasp of things that baffle my fellow collegues up at TTU.

  Kudos.
