Thanks for the arithmetic lesson. To the mathematician who first defined zero, I say, thanks for nothing. A lonely number once tried to become a zero. He wanted to be closer to one.

This is as close to zero as Pluto is to the sun.

Interesting factoid, but how does that word or term relate to the search engine with the similar sounding name? I highly doubt that it is just a coincidence. The two must have some meaning that ties them together. Do you know?

The founders of Google wanted the word which represented something vast, but misspelled it.

This is a very clever 575 and I enjoyed it very much. He gave me quite a chuckle. I wish you a very good week and may God bless you and bless your writing. And I do hope your wife is feeling better. Patricia.

I really enjoyed how you defined a googol! "One with a hundred zeroes divided by one" is clever. Your choice to keep this short works so well. It made me smile! I like how you've turned such a complex idea into something easy to understand!

Well, I really do learn something every day, though maybe nothing new, as I am sure I explained this to my mom soon after I was born, thanks for the smiles****kahpot

Yes, that's the word long before there was a Googol. It was the name the 9-year-old nephew of a mathematician came up with when he asked him what he would call a number with 1 followed by a hundred zeroes.

I would have called it Whatanumba.
