Interesting fact

* If you are right handed, you will tend to chew your food on your right side. If you are left handed, you will tend to chew your food on your left side.* The Titanic was the first ship to use the SOS signal.* The Mercedes-Benz motto is “Das Beste oder Nichts” meaning “the best or nothing”.* The roar that we hear when we place a seashell next to our ear is not the ocean, but rather the sound of blood surging through the veins in the ear.*The verb “cleave” is the only English word with two synonyms which are antonyms of each other: adhere and separate.*Google is actually the common name for a number with a million zeros.*It cost 7 million dollars to build the Titanic and 200 million to make a film about it.

  • Hi Fa,

    Okay.I'm not idiot.I think the mathematic is my own game.Actually i don't want to mislead anyone,I didn't notice the word Power so i thought it's"followed".We benefit from each other.I didn't like this word"mislead" and I think i understand every thing about the numbers and powers.I studied that in the university and in school.Okay to not mislead anyone visit this site:http://www.linesave.co.uk/the_meaning_of_google.html

    Googol" is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, "Mathematics and the Imagination" by Kasner and James Newman. Google's play on the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web.
    Thanks Fa for every thing
    So long

    Google is 10 to the power of a 100, any number with a hunderd zeros in front of it ,Or any whole number with 100 digits in front of it ,32476823....to a hunderd ones.
    NOT a million zeros or numbers infront of it .
    It is a correction (just) to not mislead the readers, . We are talking about numbers , and numbers are not debatable. 10 to the power of 3 = 1000(three zeros) , 10 to the power of 10 = 10000000000(ten zeros) . 10 to the power of 100 = 1 with hundred zeros infront of it. BUT NOT as you stated ( 10 with million zeros= 10 to the power of 100) ,because that means : 10 to the power of milliion zeros means a million numbers in front of one NOT 100 zeros. I hope it is clear now . Thank you and keep smiling.this table might help ,plz notice (^ means to the power of..).

    million 10^6 ( means six zeros infront of 1)
    billion 10^9
    trillion 10^12
    quadrillion 10^15
    quintillion 10^18
    sextillion 10^21
    septillion 10^24
    octillion 10^27
    nonillion 10^30
    decillion 10^33
    undecillion 10^36
    duodecillion 10^39
    tredecillion 10^42
    quatuordecillion 10^45
    quindecillion 10^48
    sexdecillion 10^51
    septendecillion 10^54
    octodecillion 10^57
    novemdecillion 10^60
    vigintillion 10^63
    googol 10^100
    googolplex 10^googol = 10^(10^100)

    Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschat had produced a special car for Emil Jellinek. Jellinek named the car after his ten-year-old daughter Mercedes.

    The word has a Spanish origin, meaning "mercy". It is taken from the title of the Virgin Mary, María de las Mercedes, implying" Mary of Mercies." The name is pronounced as "mer-SE-dhes."
  • Hi Fa,
    Thanks for the addition not "correction"Because we say the same thing.That's right this number is 10 with million zeros= 10 to the power of 100.Actually i lost count when i saw this big number.Thanks for this addition.

    Correction : Google is the mathematical term of number (10) to the power of (100) . Meaning 100 zero infront of number one ( 1 ) .Meaning a 100 zeros infront of any number.
