Large numbers

Large numbers are numbers that are significantly larger than those ordinarily used in everyday life, for instance in simple counting or in monetary transactions. The term typically refers to large positive integers, or more generally, large positive real numbers, but it may also be used in other contexts.

Very large numbers often occur in fields such as mathematics, cosmology, cryptography, and statistical mechanics. Sometimes people refer to numbers as being "astronomically large". However, it is easy to mathematically define numbers that are much larger even than those used in astronomy.

Using scientific notation to handle large and small numbers

Scientific notation was created to handle the wide range of values that occur in scientific study. 1.0 × 10⁹, for example, means one billion, a 1 followed by nine zeros: 1 000 000 000, and 1.0 × 10⁻⁹ means one billionth, or 0.000 000 001. Writing 10⁹ instead of nine zeros saves readers the effort and hazard of counting a long series of zeros to see how large the number is.
