What is a cetillion?

Answer 1

A cetillion is a large numerical value represented as (10^{303}), which means it is the digit 1 followed by 303 zeros. The term is part of the short scale numbering system, commonly used in the United States and modern English-speaking countries. In some contexts, it may refer to the quantity of objects or units in very large quantities, although it is not as commonly used as other large numbers like a billion or trillion.

Answer 2

A cetillion is a large numerical value represented by 1 followed by 303 zeros in the short scale system, which is commonly used in the United States and most English-speaking countries. In the long scale system, primarily used in some European countries, a cetillion is equivalent to 1 followed by 600 zeros. The term is derived from the prefix "ceti-" which indicates its magnitude. Such large numbers are often used in theoretical contexts, such as mathematics or cosmology.
