Archimedes, an ancient Greek mathematician and physicist in the 3rd century BC, first proposed a method to describe giant numbers, which is similar to the method of expressing large numbers in modern science. He started with the largest number "Wan" in ancient Greek arithmetic at that time, and introduced a new number "Wan" (100 million) as the second order, followed by "Billion" (third-order unit) and "Billion" (fourth-order unit).
In Mahayana Buddhism, there are also many names that represent giant numbers, such as "Ganges Sand" and "It's up to him", and the largest one is called "Asheng Block", which is said to be equivalent to1010. Centillion is often used in English to represent the maximum number, which means 1 followed by 600 zeros. More numbers must be explained in words. Someone also designed a word millimillillion, which means 10 to the power of 6 billion, and it can also be called Megiston. This word is usually represented by the symbol attending. But because this figure is so huge, it has no substantive significance. At present, the total number of protons and neutrons in this observable part of the universe (that is, the whole galaxy) is only 1080! The late mathematician Edward Casner, a professor at Columbia University, coined a word for large numbers called googol, which is equivalent to 10 100. From 10 10 to10/0, it is called the Gugor Group.
The largest number, which is quite familiar in mathematics, is named Skewes according to the surname of its creator. This number is the cubic of 10 to 10. Scuse, who first put forward this view, is currently a professor at the University of Cape Town. He mentioned it in two papers on prime numbers, 1933 and 1955.
