Our galaxy alone is estimated to have anywhere from 10 million to 1 billion black holes. The vast majority are not doing much, however, as there is no material form them to pull in.

How do black holes grow and what factors contribute to their expansion over time?

Black holes grow by consuming matter and merging with other black holes. Factors that contribute to their expansion over time include the amount of surrounding matter, the gravitational pull of nearby objects, and the rate at which they consume material.
