10^googol. A google is 10^100. So a googleplex is 10^(10^100). That's one followed by a google zeros.
The googol and therefore the googleplex is of no particular significance in mathematics. The term was coined in 1920 by nine-year-old Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner.
The Googleplex is also the name of the Google company headquarters in Mountain View, California.

Googolplex is the number .
It can also be written as 10googol
or as a 1 followed by a googol (10100) zeroes. Note that is the same as because exponentiation works from the top down. The term googol was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of mathematician Edward Kasner. Googolplex was coined by Kasner to define an especially large number by extension from his nephew's idea.
