Large numbers

Large numbers, far beyond those encountered in everyday life—such as simple counting or financial transactions—play a crucial role in various domains. These expansive quantities appear prominently in mathematics, cosmology, cryptography, and statistical mechanics. While they often manifest as large positive integers, they can also take other forms in different contexts (such as P-adic number). Googology delves into the naming conventions and properties of these immense numerical entities.^[1]^[2]
