Answer 3

Prove by contradiction.

Assume number n is the biggest number.
But n+1 > n, contradiction.

Thus the biggest number does not exist.
(infinity is a place, not a number)

Answer 4

there is no biggest number, but a googolplex is the largest number with a name. it's 10 to the googol power. (a goool is 10 to the hundreths power) so a googolplex is 10^(10^100). they say that if you wrote that number down in the computer the txt. file would take up about 40 gigs, or something like that

Answer 5

there is no biggest number the "biggest number you can just add a 0 to then end and make it bigger so it needs to be represented by X

Try this simple program, it will get you near your answer
If Number = X
Then Answer = X+1
To find the smallest number replace X+1 with X/2
