Numbers are infinite, or rather ∞.

Higher numbers include googol, and googolplex... and some others that I don't remember.

Googol: 10 (to the power of) 100
Googolplex: 10 (to the power of) googol


Do what LD says..., a trillion is more than a billion.

The truth is: Numbers never stop. They just don't. Even if you go down to the negative numbers, they don't stop too.

Numbers can reach up to like, 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999. But there is something that turns this topic around.
Decimals. You should know that it is a dot on the number like 5.75. In fraction terms it would be 5 and 3 quarters.
There is thing called recruiting decimals. These numbers have infinite digits and never stop.

Here's an example: 1 divided by 0.33
The answer would be 3.03030303030303030303030303030303. See? They never stop. It is a recruiting number.

If you do not want people to talk about how high numbers go then change the title!

I once watched a show about numbers. It says numbers are used for the amount of something.
