| A '''googol''' is the ] 10<sup>100</sup>, that is, the ] 1 followed by 100 ]: | |||

| The term was coined in 1938<ref>{{cite book| author = Kasner, Edward and Newman, James R. | title = Mathematics and the Imagination| year = 1940| publisher = Simon and Schuster, New York| isbn = 0486417034}}</ref> by 9-year-old Milton Sirotta, nephew of American ] ]. Kasner popularized the concept in his 1940 book '']''. | |||
| Other ] for googol include '''ten duotrigintillion''' on the ], '''ten thousand sexdecillion''' on the ], or '''ten sexdecilliard''' on the ]. | |||
| A googol has no particular significance in mathematics, but is useful when comparing with other very large quantities such as the number of ] in the visible universe or the number of hypothetically possible ] moves. Edward Kasner used it to illustrate the difference between an unimaginably large number and ], and in this role it is sometimes used in teaching mathematics. | |||
| A googol is approximately ''70!'' (] of 70). In the ], one would need 333 bits to represent a googol, i.e, 1 googol ≈ 2<sup>332.19</sup>, or exactly <math>2^{(100/\mathrm{log}_{10}2)}</math>. | |||
