A googol is the large number 10100, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros (in decimal representation).

Googol is of the same order of magnitude as the factorial of 70 (70! being approximately 1.198 googol, or 10 to the power 100.0784), and its only prime factors are 2 and 5 (100 of each).… (More on Googol)
