What is the largest finite number with a simple dictionary name?

Answer 1

A googolplex #= 10^(10^100)# is probably the largest finite number with a simple dictionary name.

Names have been proposed for #10^(10^(10^100))#, #10^(10^(10^(10^100)))# and generalisations, namely "googolplexplex", "googolplexplexplex", etc., but they have not been taken up by the major dictionaries.

The largest finite number with a simple dictionary name is "googolplex." A googolplex is defined as 10 raised to the power of a googol, where a googol is 1 followed by 100 zeros, or (10^{10^{100}}). It's an immensely large number, far exceeding the magnitude of numbers typically encountered in mathematics and science.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
