Interesting math fact of the day #88:
88 is the largest number with no “n” up until 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
"Ten duotrigintillion" still has an n in it
i would humbly ask you to type "ten duotrigintillion" into the nearest search bar and report back to me what do the first 5-10 results all say :)
they all said "this isn't math class"
okay mr "ten duotrigintillion", let's hear about what your experience in math is, because if im seeing the same thing as you, then you should have probably known the answer before googling it, shouldn't you?
we're talking about number names here. when making mathematical statements about number names we do not use googological terms like "googolplex" and "decalogue"
listen, did i make a mathematical statement of the number, as in an equation or statement, or did i assume that the more commonly used and accepted term for the given "ten duotrigintillion" be used?
i'll let you be the judge.
if we're allowing googology names then actually 216 has no n's in its name of "googoiji"

when did i say we were using googology? i only said that the reader would use the more commonly recognized name. we're not focusing on any specific way of writing numbers here, we're just using the way us as a society decided to name these numbers.
well then Fifty Two Factorial has got A Googol beat, being just 8x10^67
must i repeat myself again? i don’t see kids counting “one factorial, two factorial, three, four, five, three factorial”. do you?
if i do then five factorial is the earliest one that beats 88
