The number first used by nine-year-old Milton Sirotta in 1940 is known as a "googol." A googol is represented as 10^100, a 1 followed by 100 zeros. This term was introduced by mathematician Edward Kasner, who asked his young nephew, Milton Sirotta, to come up with a name for such a large number.

The number has always existed but the term google was made up in 1938 by Milton Sirotta . No it was not. It was a tiny little boy that got a hard math problem.
The word was coined by 9-year old Milton Sirotta. He had been asked by his uncle, the mathematician Edward Kasner, what the huge number should should be called.
The following is from Wikipedia:"The term was coined in 1938 by Milton Sirotta (1929-1980), nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, when he was nine years old."
The term was coined in 1938 by Milton Sirotta (1911-1981), nephew of Americanmathematician Edward Kasner, when he was nine years old. Kasner popularized the concept in his book Mathematics and the Imagination (1940).
One googol is defined as 10100. The term was coined in 1938 by 9 year old Milton Sirotta,nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner. Kasner popularized the concept inhis book Mathematics and the Imagination (1940).
One time a man showed his son the huge number and the boy was so surprised that he said "googol!".The boy was Milton Sirotta, aged 9, in 1938. It was popularized by Edward Kasner. See the related links for more information.Do not confuse this with google, which is a web site and search engine.
