!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is the  [large number|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_number]  __10100__. In decimal notation, it is written as the  [digit|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_digit]  1 followed by one hundred  [zeroes|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_(number)] : __10,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000,​000.__A googol has no special significance in mathematics. However, it is useful when comparing with other very large quantities such as the number of subatomic particles in the visible universe or the number of hypothetical possibilities in a chess game. Kasner used it to illustrate the difference between an unimaginably large number and infinity, and in this role it is sometimes used in teaching mathematics. To give a sense of how big a googol really is, the mass of an electron, just under 10−30 kg, can be compared to the mass of the visible universe, estimated at between 1050 and 1060 kg.[5][original research?] It is a ratio in the order of about 1080 to 1090, or at most one ten-billionth of a googol (0.00000001% of a googol).
A googol is approximately ''70!'' ( [factorial|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial]  of 70)
Widespread sounding of the word occurs through the name of the company [Google], with the name "Google" which was derived from a misspelling of [Larry Page]’s original planned name, googol which was picked to signify that the search engine was intended to provide large quantities of information
