Always nice to know.Google are really world-dominant you ask me. Perhaps they could CHANGE the currency and say "Hell yeah, we gotz teh googol's!"

Naw, they won't, seriously. Google are a bunch of uber geeks who pawnt nothing else but the World of Geekcraft. (-In specific, search technology and buying over new startups)

I recently read something about this, The creaters of google misspelled googol and thats how they came up with their name Google's main building is called the googleplex. To a recently earlier post who I cant remember did it, Yes it is google who has slides in their building. Accompanied by a gym, spa and a pool. Every year google takes its employees on a ski trip.DREAM JOB FTW

Maybe some of you know this already
A google is a fantastic number; it is a number followed by 100 zeros.

So when I say you got a google girlfriends, it means you have 10^100 girlfriends. (Aint logic)

Now we know why the name Google for the famous search engine.

Why you consider it is fantastic? It could exist, every single number, written by digit, followed by another digits, is a number, which could exist.

You could only not call it with a name

No no.. It's a Google.. Googol is/was just another way of spelling it..

i bet google is about a googol billion bucks richer that me use BING , its better , faster and safer! BTW why is there like 5 people explaining why google is actually speed googol ? i mean come on , it only takes one person!

Large numbersThe Definition Of Google Number [aka Googol]

Just watched a programme on TV about infinity which touched on large numbers.

Yes Google

Yes Googleplex

But what about Graem. A Gream (calculated by Matthew Gream) is a number so large that we don't even know what or how many digits it has other than the last one is 7.  Something to do with sending internet information.

3³ = 9

9³= 729

729³ = 387420489

387420489³ = 5.8149737 ? 10²⁵

(5.8149737 ? 10²⁵)³ = 1.9662705 ? 10⁷⁷

Keep going and going, until you have done raised a number to the 3rd power for the 64th time.

The truth is that you are both saying the same. It is actually 3 to the power of 64. If you check what you are explaining, confirms this.

 

3 ^3 = 9 (3x3x3)

9 ^3 = 729 (which is 3 ^6, or 3x3x3x3x3x3)

729 ^3 = 387420489 (which is 3 ^9, or 3x3x3x3x3x3x3x3x3)

 

You will just have to continue adding up the exp number.

387420489³ = 5.8149737 × 10²⁵

(5.8149737 × 10²⁵)³ = 1.9662705 × 10⁷⁷

Actually, you are all wrong. 3 ^2 = 9. 3 ^3 = 27.

 

So...

 

3 ^3 = 27

27 ^3 = 19,683

19,683 ^3 = 7.62559748 × 10^12

 

At this point we have only cubed the number 3 times and already we have 12 preceding zeros. 61 more times would be huge. Much larger than a google/googol.

 

FYI: 3 ^64 = 3.43368382 × 10^30

FYI: Graham's number

 

3^3 = 27 = 3 ^(3^1) -> First Iterration

27^3 = 19683 = 3^3^3 = 3^9 = 3^(3^2) -> Second Iterration

19683^3 = 7625597484987 = 3^3^3^3 = 3^9^3 = 3^27 = 3^(3^3) -> Third Iterration

 

So, the number you are looking for is the 64th Iterration, which is:

 

3^(3^64) = a lot

 

But, I am not so sure this is in fact Graham's number, because his number is defined using Knuth's up-arrow notation.
