Product Information

The following table shows number names generated by the system described by Conway and Guy for the short and long scales. [16] Base -illion The names googol and googolplex were invented by Edward Kasner's nephew Milton Sirotta and introduced in Kasner and Newman's 1940 book Mathematics and the Imagination [14] in the following passage: When a number represents a quantity rather than a count, SI prefixes can be used—thus " femtosecond", not "one quadrillionth of a second"—although often powers of ten are used instead of some of the very high and very low prefixes. In some cases, specialized units are used, such as the astronomer's parsec and light year or the particle physicist's barn. Since the system of using Latin prefixes will become ambiguous for numbers with exponents of a size which the Romans rarely counted to, like 10 6,000,258, Conway and Guy co-devised with Allan Wechsler the following set of consistent conventions that permit, in principle, the extension of this system indefinitely to provide English short-scale names for any integer whatsoever. [15] The name of a number 10 3 n+3, where n is greater than or equal to 1000, is formed by concatenating the names of the numbers of the form 10 3 m+3, where m represents each group of comma-separated digits of n, with each but the last "-illion" trimmed to "-illi-", or, in the case of m = 0, either "-nilli-" or "-nillion". [15] For example, 10 3,000,012, the 1,000,003rd "-illion" number, equals one "millinillitrillion"; 10 33,002,010,111, the 11,000,670,036th "-illion" number, equals one "undecillinilli­septua­ginta­ses­centilli­sestrigint­illion"; and 10 29,629,629,633, the 9,876,543,210th "-illion" number, equals one "nonillise­septua­ginta­octingentillitres­quadra­ginta­quingentillideciducent­illion". [15]

John Horton Conway and Richard K. Guy [15] have suggested that N-plex be used as a name for 10 N. This gives rise to the name googolplexplex for 10 googolplex = 10 10 10 100. Conway and Guy [15] have proposed that N-minex be used as a name for 10 −N, giving rise to the name googolminex for the reciprocal of a googolplex, which is written as 10 -(10 100). None of these names are in wide use.

Traditional French usage has varied; in 1948, France, which had originally popularized the short scale worldwide, reverted to the long scale. The naming procedure for large numbers is based on taking the number n occurring in 10 3 n+3 (short scale) or 10 6 n (long scale) and concatenating Latin roots for its units, tens, and hundreds place, together with the suffix -illion. In this way, numbers up to 10 3·999+3=10 3000 (short scale) or 10 6·999=10 5994 (long scale) may be named. The choice of roots and the concatenation procedure is that of the standard dictionary numbers if n is 9 or smaller. For larger n (between 10 and 999), prefixes can be constructed based on a system described by Conway and Guy. [15] Today, sexdecillion and novemdecillion are standard dictionary numbers and, using the same reasoning as Conway and Guy did for the numbers up to nonillion, could probably be used to form acceptable prefixes. The Conway–Guy system for forming prefixes: Nevertheless, large numbers have an intellectual fascination and are of mathematical interest, and giving them names is one way people try to conceptualize and understand them. Most names proposed for large numbers belong to systematic schemes which are extensible. Thus, many names for large numbers are simply the result of following a naming system to its logical conclusion—or extending it further.

The terms "Milliarde" in German, "miljard" in Dutch, "milyar" in Turkish, and "миллиард," milliard (transliterated) in Russian, are standard usage when discussing financial topics.

Traditional American usage (which was also adapted from French usage but at a later date), Canadian, and modern British usage assign new names for each power of one thousand (the short scale.) Thus, a billion is 1000 × 1000 2 = 10 9; a trillion is 1000 × 1000 3 = 10 12; and so forth. Due to its dominance in the financial world (and by the US dollar), this was adopted for official United Nations documents.
