Gugor was invented by Milton Silota, the nine-year-old nephew of American mathematician Edward Casner, and was later quoted by mathematicians Edward Casner and James Newman in Mathematics and Imagination. Google's adoption of this word shows the company's ambition to conquer the endless information on the Internet. Google didn't adopt Googol probably because of copyright issues. When they registered in Google.com, Googol.com had already registered.
Gugor is big enough, but the number bigger than Gugor is Gugor Plex defined by computer scientist Frank Pierhoff. It is equal to 10' s Gugor power. If you want to see Gugor Plex like Googol above, it will be very difficult, because it takes 3. 125 * 10 85 years to print it out. (See the page of Gugor Plex).
There are not many names of large numbers in Chinese. The commonly used names of billion, trillion, Beijing and East are 10 to the 8th power, 12 to the 2nd power, 16 to the 6th power and 20th power respectively. The large numbers introduced by Buddhist scriptures, such as Ganges sand (52nd power of 10) and Poirot (56th power of 10), are smaller than those of Gugor, while Kara (2nd power of 165438) is much larger than that of Gugor. The largest number in Buddhist scriptures is called "unspeakable, unspeakable, unspeakable", which is 7× 2 10 to the 22nd power. This is an unimaginable number, but it is still much smaller than Gugor Plex.
