I see that the number you typed was NOT actually
1, 686, 553, 615, 927, 922, 354, 187

But rather
1, 686, 553, 615, 927, 922, 354, 187, 744

See, this is what happens when you don't use spaces. The numbers get chopped off!

Fortunately I was able to read the full number in the HTML code and saw the last three digits that everybody else couldn't see.

So the correct answer is:

"One septillion,
six hundred and eighty-six sextillion,
five hundred and fifty three quintillion,
six hundred and fifteen quadrillion,
nine hundred and twenty-seven trillion,
nine hundred and twenty-two billion,
three hundred and fifty-four million,
one hundred and eighty-seven thousand,
seven hundred and forty-four."

Geezah gave you the correct answer. I'd just like to add that there's a site that will give you the spoken form of really large numbers automatically, which you can find here: http://www.mathcats.com/explore/reallybignumbers.html

Ok. Don't get tongue-tied.

One sextillion, six hundred eighty-six quintillion, five hundred fifty-three quadrillion, six hundred fifteen trillion, nine hundred twenty-seven billion, nine hundred twenty-two million, three hundred fifty-four thousand, one hundred eighty-seven.

Contrary to popular belief and practice, you don't say the word "and" unless you are following it with a fractional or decimal amount.

more than zero
because question is still goingon after ....187.......
we don't know digits after 187
that's why more than zero is the correct answer

Since the number is with ... its never ending, meaning it is not a finite number, its infinite. So i would call it infinity !!!
