  • Googlek
rdfs:comment
  • Googlek is equal to \(16^{256} = 2^{1024}\), intended as a hexadecimal analog of googol. It was described on a page on the site "intuitor.com" which proposes a method for pronouncing numbers in hexadecimal. To the best of our knowledge, the page was written in 2007 by Tom Rogers, a high school teacher in South Carolina, USA. It is approximately \(1.797 imes 10^{308}\). It is the smallest power of two not expressible as a double-precision floating point number according to IEEE 754 (a double has an exponent width of 11 bits, one of which is the sign, so the exponent has a maximum of 210 - 1).
