Calculate it for yourself!
Suppose you could actually count 24/7.
Counting "in your head", you might get 10 numbers per second.
So:
10 / second x 3600 seconds/hour x 24 hours/day x 365 days/ year x 80 years / lifetime = 25 billion
So, theoretically, yes.
Even if you got real, and only counted for 8 hours a day, you would still get to 8 billion in about 80 years at that rate.
So, again, yes.

Count by millions, not ones. Take about an hour...

if you are really bored and don't have the need to eat or drink then sure it is possible.
you do mean without keeping written track just non stop counting right?

If you tried up would be up night and day just counting away. Then you would finally give up !

it is theoretically possible
