    From Wikipedia encyclopedia: A number is an abstract idea used in counting and measuring. A symbol which represents a number is called a numeral, but in common usage the word number is used for both the idea and the symbol. The definition of number has been extended over the years to include such numbers as zero, negative numbers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, and complex numbers. How high do numbers go? In our everyday life we use a lot of the lower numbers, like one to ten, and on up to the trillions. We seldom go higher than that. What about those numbers beyond trillions? Many of them we may not even know. Let me give you an idea of what numbers are out there. We will start with zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine. All other numbers are just combinations of these, we take one and add zero to make ten, and so on. Take a look at all the numbers that people have come up with: Hundred 100 Thousand 1,000 Million 1,000,000 Billion 1,000,000,000 Trillion 1,000,000,000,000 Quadrillion 1 and 15 zeros Quintillion 1 and 18 zeros Sextillion 1 and 21 zeros Septillion 1 and 24 zeros Octillion 1 and 27 zeros Nontillion 1 and 30 zeros Decillion 1 and 33 zeros Undecillion 1 and 36 zeros Duodecillion 1 and 39 zeros Tredecillion 1 and 42 zeros Quattuordecillion 1 and 45 zeros Quidecillion 1 and 48 zeros Sexdecillion 1 and 51 zeros Septendecillion 1 and 54 zeros Octadecillion 1 and 57 zeros Novemdecillion 1 and 60 zeros Vigintillion 1 and 63 zeros Unvigintillion 1 and 66 zeros Dovigintillion 1 and 69 zeros Trevigintillion 1 and 72 zeros Quattuorvigintillion 1 and 75 zeros Quinvigintillion 1 and 78 zeros Sexvigintillion 1 and 81 zeros Septenvigintillion 1 and 84 zeros Octovigintillion 1 and 87 zeros Novemvigintillion 1 and 90 zeros Trigintillion 1 and 93 zeros Untrigintillion 1 and 96 zeros Dotrigintillion 1 and 99 zeros Tretrigintillion 1 and 102 zeros Quattuortillion 1 and 105 zeros Quintrigintillion 1 and 108 zeros Sextrigintillion 1 and 111 zeros Septentrigintillion 1 and 114 zeros Octotrigintillion 1 and 117 zeros Novemtrintillion 1 and 120 zeros Untrigintillion 1 and 123 zeros 100 Untrigintillion equals one Googol 100 Googol equals one Googolplex When people start dealing with numbers this high, they kind of go wild. Someone decided that a googol is a 1 and 100 zeros, and a googolplex is a 1 followed by a googol of zeros, which is an extremely long number. I wonder if anyone really knows what they are doing when they are dealing with numbers this high. In some foreign countries they have a different list of numbers. So, since we really don’t have to deal with these high numbers, we don’t need to worry about it, but they can be fun. Here are a couple of interesting things about numbers: 18 is the only number that is twice the sum of it’s digits: 1+8=9 9x2=18. Multiply 111,111,111 times 111,111,111 It equals 12345678987654321. Try it on your calculator on your computer. Small calculators don’t have enough number spaces. Here are a couple more interesting things: God speaking to Moses: “And worlds without number have I created……..and innumerable are they unto man; but all things are numbered unto me, for they are mine and I know them.” Moses 1:33 & 35. In the scriptures it is mentioned: “numerous as the sands upon the sea shore”. It would be impossible to count that many grains of sand! There are many more interesting things that can be done with numbers. Check them out, and have fun!

    Numbers

    From Wikipedia encyclopedia: A number is an abstract idea used in counting and


    measuring. A symbol which represents a number is called a numeral, but in common
    usage the word number is used for both the idea and the symbol.

    The definition of number has been extended over the years to include such numbers as
    zero, negative numbers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, and complex numbers.

    How high do numbers go? In our everyday life we use a lot of the lower numbers, like
    one to ten, and on up to the trillions. We seldom go higher than that. What about those
    numbers beyond trillions? Many of them we may not even know.

    Let me give you an idea of what numbers are out there. We will start with zero, one, two,
    three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine. All other numbers are just combinations of
    these, we take one and add zero to make ten, and so on. Take a look at all the numbers
    that people have come up with:

    Hundred 100
    Thousand 1,000
    Million 1,000,000
    Billion 1,000,000,000
    Trillion 1,000,000,000,000
    Quadrillion 1 and 15 zeros
    Quintillion 1 and 18 zeros
    Sextillion 1 and 21 zeros
    Septillion 1 and 24 zeros
    Octillion 1 and 27 zeros
    Nontillion 1 and 30 zeros
    Decillion 1 and 33 zeros
    Undecillion 1 and 36 zeros
    Duodecillion 1 and 39 zeros
    Tredecillion 1 and 42 zeros
    Quattuordecillion 1 and 45 zeros
    Quidecillion 1 and 48 zeros
    Sexdecillion 1 and 51 zeros
    Septendecillion 1 and 54 zeros
    Octadecillion 1 and 57 zeros
    Novemdecillion 1 and 60 zeros
    Vigintillion 1 and 63 zeros
    Unvigintillion 1 and 66 zeros
    Dovigintillion 1 and 69 zeros
    Trevigintillion 1 and 72 zeros
    Quattuorvigintillion 1 and 75 zeros
    Quinvigintillion 1 and 78 zeros
    Sexvigintillion 1 and 81 zeros
    Septenvigintillion 1 and 84 zeros
    Octovigintillion 1 and 87 zeros
    Novemvigintillion 1 and 90 zeros
    Trigintillion 1 and 93 zeros
    Untrigintillion 1 and 96 zeros
    Dotrigintillion 1 and 99 zeros
    Tretrigintillion 1 and 102 zeros
    Quattuortillion 1 and 105 zeros
    Quintrigintillion 1 and 108 zeros
    Sextrigintillion 1 and 111 zeros
    Septentrigintillion 1 and 114 zeros
    Octotrigintillion 1 and 117 zeros
    Novemtrintillion 1 and 120 zeros
    Untrigintillion 1 and 123 zeros

    100 Untrigintillion equals one Googol


    100 Googol equals one Googolplex

    When people start dealing with numbers this high, they kind of go wild. Someone
    decided that a googol is a 1 and 100 zeros, and a googolplex is a 1 followed by a googol
    of zeros, which is an extremely long number. I wonder if anyone really knows what they
    are doing when they are dealing with numbers this high.

    In some foreign countries they have a different list of numbers. So, since we really don’t
    have to deal with these high numbers, we don’t need to worry about it, but they can be
    fun.

    Here are a couple of interesting things about numbers: 18 is the only number that is
    twice the sum of it’s digits: 1+8=9 9x2=18.

    Multiply 111,111,111 times 111,111,111 It equals 12345678987654321. Try it on your


    calculator on your computer. Small calculators don’t have enough number spaces.

    Here are a couple more interesting things:


    God speaking to Moses: “And worlds without number have I created……..and
    innumerable are they unto man; but all things are numbered unto me, for they are mine
    and I know them.” Moses 1:33 & 35.
    In the scriptures it is mentioned: “numerous as the sands upon the sea shore”. It would
    be impossible to count that many grains of sand! There are many more interesting things
    that can be done with numbers. Check them out, and have fun!
