In about 1920, Edward Kasner's nine-year-old nephew Milton Sirotta coined the term googol; Milton then proposed the further term googolplex to be "one, followed by writing zeroes until you get tired". Kasner decided to adopt a more formal definition "because different people get tired at different times and it would never do to have Carnera [a champion boxer] be a better mathematician than Dr. Einstein, simply because he had more endurance".

== == Our beloved Google got it's name from Googol, which is a math term.
A googol is the large number 10100, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeroes. The term was coined in 1938 by nine-year-old Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner. Kasner announced the concept in his book Mathematics and the Imagination. The Internet search engine, Google, was named as a play on the number googol.

The number you provided is called a "googol." A googol is equal to 10 to the power of 100, or 1 followed by 100 zeros. It was coined by mathematician Edward Kasner in 1938. The term "googol" and its larger counterpart, "googolplex," are often used to illustrate the concept of extremely large numbers.

A number followed by 400 zeros is called a googol. In mathematical terms, a googol is represented as 10^100, which means a 1 followed by 100 zeros. It was coined in 1938 by Milton Sirotta, the 9-year-old nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner. The term "googol" was later popularized by Kasner in his book "Mathematics and the Imagination."

A googol is represented in standard form as 1 x 10^100. In other words, a googol is the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. This number is used in mathematics and is significantly larger than a trillion or even a quadrillion. It was coined by mathematician Edward Kasner in the early 20th century.

A googol is the large number 10100, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros in decimal representation.
The founders of Google had intended to register it as Googol when they set up the company but inadvertently spelled it wrong and did not realize before it was too late.
