A googol is the large number 10100 or ten to the power of one hundred. In decimal notation, it is written as the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros: 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. Its systematic name is ten duotrigintillion (short scale) or ten sexdecilliard (long scale). Its prime factorization is 2100 × 5100.
A googol is an enormously large number equal to 10 to the power of 100, written as a 1 followed by 100 zeros. While it's primarily a mathematical concept used to illustrate the scale of very large numbers, it gained cultural significance as the inspiration for the name of the search engine Google.

==Etymology== The term was coined in 1920 by 9-year-old Milton Sirotta (1911–1981), nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner. He may have been inspired by the contemporary comic strip character Barney Google. Kasner popularized the concept in his 1940 book Mathematics and the Imagination. Other names for this quantity include ten duotrigintillion on the short scale (commonly used in English speaking countries), ten thousand sexdecillion on the long scale, or ten sexdecilliard on the Peletier long scale.
