A googol is the large number 10^100, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros !

mmmmmmmmm. Multiplying 10 a hundred times by itself. You can just use a calculator. But you will see the number is 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000, or 1 followed by a hundred zeros. Like 10^1 is 1 followed by 1 zero, 10^2 is 10 followed by 2 zeros, 10^10 is ten followed by 10 zeros.
It's a huge number I doubt you'll ever need to use. It's the first time somebody even made me think about it.
I just hope I didn't put too few or too little zeros.

10 to x power is 1 with x zeros after it. so ten to the hundredth would be 1 and then a hundred zeros. Most people know this number as "google" or "googleplex"
