The term googol was coined by the nine year old nephew (Milton Sirotta) of the mathematician Edward Krasner when he was looking for a way to express 10 to the power 100. Krasner himself coined the term googolplex which is 10 to the power 10 to the power 100.

The name "Google" originated from a misspelling of "googol,"[1][2] which refers to 10100 (a 1 followed by one-hundred zeros).

do you mean the word 'google' or google as a company?
If its as a company, mathematics is the primary basis of the way google searches for stuff .... it gets much more complex ( they have lots of PhD mathematics guys working for them). If you really need to know the details, buzz me

Its a massive number.....1 followed by 100 zeros. A googolplex is even larger.... basically 1 followed by googol zeros..... OMG its enormous....
