Talk:Centillion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What is the inverse factorial of a centillion?? That is, what number is x approximately equal to when x! is a centillion?? 66.245.95.56

168! = 2.53x10302 (American) and 294! = 4.4x10599 (European). Rt66lt 21:18, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

How is this the largest number to have a name? On the "names of large numbers" page, googolplex is listed (correctly)after this number in size. 64.126.190.197 14:18, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

My understanding of this is that a googolplex is not an "official" name, whereas centillion is. "Googol" and "googlplex" are coined names, million, billion, trillion, etc. (to centillion) are based on a system.Rt66lt 05:07, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
