There is no biggest number. It doesn't exist. If you look on the number line, you can see that there can't be a largest number, because on the number line, the positive numbers increase for infinity, and the negative numbers increase for infinity. So, since there's no such thing as the largest number, you can't say it.
You might be thinking now that infinity is the largest number, but that isn't true, because infinity isn't a number, it just signifies something that never ends.
Although, even though there is no such thing as the biggest number, google plex is the largest number that mathematicians have given a name. I believe it's value is 10^1000 (1 with one thousand 0's after it).
There you go. I'm glad I could help. :)

The googol is a 1 with a hundred zeroes after it.
The googolplex is a 1 with a googol zeroes after it.
The Reynolds Number is much bigger than either of these, but is very difficult to write down unless you understand a lot of mathematics.
But there is no biggest number. You can always add 1 to any big number to make an even bigger number.

There is no biggest number, numbers in the real number system continue indefinitely. There is obviously an upper bound on the "names" assigned to numbers right now, but any number can be given an arbitrary name, making the question of what is the highest named number meaningless.

Maybe the largest number with any significance in the physical world would be the number of atoms on the planet, or on the galaxy or the universe, or the probability of those atoms appearing in any particular order, or that probability factorial, and you can keep going up and up. Numbers are a tool, and for us it is useful to have numbers without limits anywhere: up, down, decimals, rationals, complex, all limitless.

There is no "biggest number". As soon as you think you have the biggest number, somebody else will add one to it.
The largest named number is googolplex.
A googol is 1 with 100 zeros after it.
A googeolplex is 1 with a google zeros after it.

There is none. If you come up with a number x, then I need only add 1 and get a bigger number x + 1. This can be repeated forever, so x + 2 is bigger, and then x + 3, x + 4, etc.

There is no such number. For any number that you care to name, I can give you a bigger one simply by adding 1 to it. The largest number which has a specific name is "googleplex", which is 10*(10*100).

If you're talking about the biggest number that can be said in one word... googolplex may be a candidate.
