Google is derived from the mathematical term Googol which stands for a number 1 followed by 100 zeros. It’s really a very long number. The term was coined in 1938 by Milton Sirotta the nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, when he was nine years old!. Kasner popularized it in the 1940s book Mathematics and the Imagination and by James Newman.

Google’s use of the word reflects the company’s goal to reach or organise the immense amount of information available on the world wide web. Goooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo, oooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo, oooooooooo,ooooooooooGle

More about Googl

Other names for googol include ten duotrigintillion on the short scale, ten thousand sexdecillion on the long scale, or ten sexdecilliard on the Peletier long scale.

A googol has no particular significance in mathematics, but is useful when comparing with other very large quantities such as the number of subatomic particles in the visible universe or the number of possible chess games. Edward Kasner used it to illustrate the difference between an unimaginably large number and infinity, and in this role it is sometimes used in teaching mathematics.
