Best Answer

An operational amplifier (op-amp) is a high-gain electronic voltage amplifier. The 741 IC type op-amp is a small scale integrated circuit.

There is no actual reason for it be called 741, the number is an arbitrary designator assigned simply to make it possible to identify the part and look it up in a databook. The number was originally assigned as a member of the 7xx series of SSI bipolar analog integrated circuits in the middle 1960s, 741 was probably just the next unassigned number available.
