Extensible Illion System Index

This notation and the numbers in it have been abandoned entirely in favor of Zillion Notation. Primitive Illion System Note that this list may change over time as I add new parts.

Extended Tier 4 to 6 -illions (OUTDATED)

This page is outdated, see the new version. The current -illions Everyone knows about numbers such as a million, billion, trillion, and quadrillion–but how far have these “illion” numbers been extended? You may have heard of the centillion (the 100th illion), and later the millillion (1000th illion) which are all relatively old terms, with the

Googology 101: Part 1.1.1 – Introduction to the Hyperoperators

So, you’ve started learning googology. Most people think of using exponentiation when defining large numbers. For instance, a googol, the number used as brand of googology, has been defined as 10100, and it’s cousin the googolplex is 10(10^100). This is for good reason: exponentiation is a sizeable function by regular standards. For instance, 1025 gallons

Googology 101 – Table of Contents

Welcome to Googology 101! This new series I started will cover the basic parts of googology (the study of large numbers and fast-growing functions), and aims to expalin everything in simple terms that can be understood by non-googologists, so it’s great for beginners. A googologism or googolism is a large number, or one used in

Rampant Array Notation Numbers (Part 1: Basic/Linear)

Array notations represent large numbers as an array of positive integers. Examples include BEAF (by Bowers), BAN (by Bird), and SAN (by hyp cos). In the past 2 posts I have developed the basic and linear components of Rampant Array Notation, a notation that aims to be “rampant” – be much faster growing than the

Rampant Array Notation (Part 2)

NOTE: This notation is outdated and has been scrapped. For the new one, see Quick Array Notation. Linear Rampant Array Notation (LRAN) is the second part of Rampant Array Notation.It aims to represent large numbers/googolisms with an array (comma-seperated list) of integers. Definition First, we need a definition of the notation. LRAN is the second weakest

Ultimate List of Numbers (Part 2: 100-10^100)

NOTE: This article is outdated. For the new one, see The Exhaustive Numbers List.. My take on a list of googolisms, with numbers compiled from several sources on the web. They are categorized into Robert Munafo’s classes up until the tetrational level, where they become impractical and I start using FGH-like categories. Upper Class 1 (100-1,000,000):

Rampant Array Notation (Part 1)

Basic Rampant Array Notation (BRAN) is the first part of Rampant Array Notation. It aims to represent large numbers/googolisms with an array (comma-seperated list) of integers. Definition First, we need a definition of the notation. BRAN is the smallest and weakest part of RAN, as it only supports two arguments. Numbers in BRAN are of

Rampant Array Notation Index

NOTE: This notation is outdated and has been scrapped. For the new one, see Quick Array Notation. Array notations aim to decompose large numbers/googolisms to an array of integers. Examples include BEAF (by Bowers), BAN (by Bird), and SAN (by hyp cos). This is my first array notation, which to be “rampant” – it is
