HM and UM

The table for googol and googolplex has UM as an authority, but it hasn't been mentioned before and has no link. I believe it's supposed to represent the HM reference, but it doesn't say that. 130.226.139.26 (talk) 07:24, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Base -illion orders of magnitude

Does this make 1,000 the zeroth base -illion, and 1 the negative first base -illion? 2601:1C0:847C:50C0:A54D:85AC:91BC:7681 (talk) 15:29, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In a sense yes, since a n-illion is 10³ⁿ⁺³. However, this observation is original research and we are right to leave it out of the article. Certes (talk) 15:57, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1,000,000,000,000,000,000

Quintillion has 18 zeros 77.100.228.242 (talk) 19:32, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, as stated in the article. It can also have 30 zeros in long scale. Does something need to be amended? Certes (talk) 21:42, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

10^100 (Ten Duotrigintillion)

Ten Duotrigintillion Is Also call Googol 10^100 77.100.228.242 (talk) 19:34, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, as stated in the article. Certes (talk) 21:46, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One Hundred Quinsexagintillion is also call gargoogol (10^200

Gargoogol has 200 Zeros 77.100.228.242 (talk) 19:35, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This number is documented on several wikis such as Fandom, but as user-contributed content it may not be a sufficiently reliable source to support inclusion in the article. Certes (talk) 21:46, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ten Billion is also call diosge

Disoge has 10 zeros 77.100.228.242 (talk) 19:36, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does any reliable source use this term? Certes (talk) 21:38, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Me,an editor, could not find any source that uses the term "diosge". Number Numismatist (talk) 12:44, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Googolchime has 1,000 zeros It's 10× Bigger than Googol

1,000 zeros is so many 77.100.228.242 (talk) 19:37, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One Youtuber seems to think that "googol-chime" is a number, but they don't appear to be a reliable source. (Also, that ratio is 10⁹⁰⁰ rather than 10.) Certes (talk) 21:40, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Largest number

I feel like the largest (well defined) number should be mentioned here. The largest number that has been created that isn't explicitly ill defined is the Large Number Garden Number (https://googology.fandom.com/wiki/Large_Number_Garden_Number?so=search). While it is incredibly complicated and useless, it should be put here I think. Kargenumbergardennumber (talk) 20:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
