Comment googol or 10 googol (Score 1) 373

The number 1 googol is very odd. How can you have 1 googol if it is the number 1 followed by 100 zero's It should be the number 1 followed by 99 zeros. Think about it. One Thousand is three 0's with a 1 in front. million is 6 0's with a 1 in front. So in order for you to have one something (as in one thousand, one million, one billion...) you would need to have the number of zeros before the 1 be a multiple of 3. So one goolgol would have to be 99 0's with a one in front of them. While 100 0's with a 1 in front of them would be 10 googol.
