so whats after a trillion and whats after that how high do wee go before infinite?

Answer 1

One trillion has 12 zeros. Here are the names of what comes after that:
15 - quadrillion
18 - quintillion
21 - sextillion
24 - septillion
27 - octillion 1000
30 - nonillion
33 - decillion
36 - undecillion
39 - duodecillion
42 - tredecillion
45 - quattuordecillion
48 - quindecillion
51 - sexdecillion
54 - septendecillion
57 - octodecillion
60 - novemdecillion
63 - vigintillion
66 - undecillion

But it doesn't stop there. By definition, infinite means never ending.

63 vigintillion 1000 decillion
66 - 120 undecillion - vigintillion
303 centillion
600 centillion............and on for infinity

Answer 3

After a trillion is a trillion and one. We need never stop adding because we can **always** add 1 to any number to make it 'that number + 1". There is no infinite when talking about the addition of whole numbers.

Answer 4

All the above answers are good, and mostly correct. In the UK a 1 with 9 zeroes after it is a thousand million, a UK billion is a million million, or 1 with 12 zeroes after it.

The point that everyone has missed is that there is a number x, that you cannot add 1 to to get x+1, and that is infinity itself - infinity + 1 = infinity ! There's also a corresponding negative number, -infinity, so -infinity - 1 = -infinity.

Answer 5

If you have a beginning by definition you can never reach infinity, unless you suddenly become unbounded in there somewhere...but to give something a beginning is to bound it.

Infinity is to exist without bounds.


Therefore, to exist at infinity means you must exist everywhere that can exist at a single point in time.


Hence infinity is not a number and cannot be defined by a number. You can never count to infinity and can never express it as something.

Try to imagine infinity velocity. It's a paradox. In order for your velocity to be infinite, your acceleration must also be infinite. In essense, you're not actually moving at all, but rather you exist everywhere that can exist.

Answer 6

Basically, infinity is like forever. It has no end, no limit.
As for names there are several different systems; American, European, SI and Greek. This list is the American system.
We're fairly comfortable with smaller values like 1 billion being a 1 with 9 zeros after it. This list goes up to a 1 with 99 zeros after it.

# of zeros, American name

9 zeros, billion
12 zeros, trillion
15 zeros, quadrillion
18 zeros, quintillion
21 zeros, sextillion
24 zeros, septillion
27 zeros, octillion
30 zeros, nonillion
33 zeros, decillion
36 zeros, undecillion
39 zeros, duodecillion
42 zeros, tredecillion
45 zeros, quattuordecillion
48 zeros, quindecillion
51 zeros, sexdecillion
54 zeros, septendecillion
57 zeros, octodecillion
60 zeros, novemdecillion
63 zeros, vigintillion
66 zeros, unvigintillion
69 zeros, duovigintillion
72 zeros, trevigintillion
75 zeros, quattuorvigintillion
78 zeros, quinvigintillion
81 zeros, sexvigintillion
84 zeros, septenvigintillion
87 zeros, octovigintillion
90 zeros, novemvigintillion
93 zeros, trigintillion
96 zeros, untrigintillion
99 zeros, duotrigintillion

Answer 7

In physics and math, large numbers are usually expressed in scientific notation such as 2.9 x 10^100. This standard is particularly useful because it can be used for things very, very large or very, very small and has meaning in other languages. Terms such as trillion or gagillion or quintillion or trillion, trillion, trillion are vague and unstandardized meanings of large numbers.

Answer 8

There is the googolplex;
a 1 followed by a googol zeroes.
A googol is a 1 followed by 100 zeros.
Infinity cannot be achieved.

Answer 9

Yep, there is no limit, imagine this number 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000, we can always just add 1 to it, numbers never end =)

Answer 10

Infininate is the highest you cant have infinate plus one or infinate x infinate
