3. What would you expect the value (as a power of 10) of a centrillion to be in each the old and new system ?
4.The old system has some advantages: for example.
(a quadrillion)x(a quintillion) = a nonillion.
a- Why is this an advantage? Is there a problem that allows you to predict the name for the product of 2numbers in the old system ?
b- What happens in the new system ?
5. What do u expect to be the answer to :
( a sextillion) x ( a septilion)
a- In the old system?
b- In The new system ?
Names:
6. Find out about the numbers
a- A gillion
b- A googol
c- A googolplex.
7. The Ancient Greeks did not write using the powers of 10. This made it more difficult for them to think about large numbers. Archimedes wrote The Sandreckoner for the King Hieron 2 show that the numba of grains of sand in the universe must be finite. To do this he showed that there cannot possibly be more that N grains of sand in the universe. Find out how big Archimedes' number N was as a power of 10

properly, permit's see. 8/4 -(2-a million) = a million 8-4-2+a million = 3 8+4-2-a million = 9 8-4+2+a million=7 8-4+2-a million = 5. 8-4+(2*a million) = 6 8/4 + (2*a million) = 4 8/4 -(2*a million) = 0 8-4-(2*a million) = 2 (8-4)*2*a million = 8 (8+4-2)*a million = 10 Voila!!

You`re never going to need that when you leave school and go to work. Tell your teacher that the dog ate your homework, thats what I used to do.

Why would anyone want to know about numbers that big?
Its not as if they are used in everyday life - I dont think I have ever.
Inflation isnt that bad

If this is homework, I dread to think what your classroom work is like! What kind of school do you attend - "Who wants to be a millionaire"?
