The largest number in the world



Names of Large Numbers

This is amazing!  I thought thrillion is the largest number not knowing that there are other 34 largest numbers this is wonderful!

While trillion is an incredibly large number, there are actually many numbers that are larger than it. Below is a chart of all the significant numbers that come after trillion.

The numbers are written with scientific notation to make them easier to read and understand.

 As you can see, for most of the chart, the power of 10 increases by three for each new number, which means you add three extra zeros to the end of the number to get the next number.For example, a billion is a 1 with nine zeros after it or: 1,000,000,000. Trillion, the next number, is a 1 with twelve zeros after it, or: 1,000,000,000,000.

This pattern continues until you get to Ten-duotrigintillion, more commonly known as a Googol (yes, this is where search engine Google got their name from). There are no names for the numbers between Googol, Skewer’s Number, Centillion, or Googolplex.

You may have noticed that “zillion” is not on here. Zillion is not actually a real number; it’s simply a term used to refer to an undetermined but extremely large quantity.
