My contribution to Science

That's pretty big. At a glance, it certainly looks bigger than anything I've come across as a professional mathematician, but without knowing how you arrived at the number I can't be certain that it's the biggest. You'll probably have to publish your methods. If you're correct, it could be a pretty important finding.

Well I have actually used considerably larger numbers than that. Although I did try phoning it and only got the BT ansaphone service.

 

Larger number then 7,987,987,778,981,078,910,148?

NO CHANCE

Thanks, I think it could be pretty big aswell. When I was working out the findings, I could feel some sort of energy around me.

 

I knew it was gonna be a more significant project then usual.

what about the avagadro constant?

 

biggest number? aye right.

 

I don't know what the avocado constant is, sorry.

 

can you scientifically demonstrate a bigger number? I don't think so

Have you ever heard of the Ackermann function? The numbers produced by this function can easily become larger than your 22 digit number. Also, a googolplex [math]10^{10^{100}}[/math] is by far larger than your number and only uses a one and a whole bunch of zeroes. We even know about prime numbers larger than your number:

The largest known prime from 2008 is [math]2^{43112609}-1[/math] and has 12978189 digits.

I don't really want to go into my workings out, incase somebody copies my theory, sorry.

Why would they copy your theory? What benefit does knowing this number bring?

 

 

But this is the highest number

The highest number for what? Anything? We actually have more atoms in our body than that.

 

Isn't 7,987,987,778,981,078,910,149 a little higher than 7,987,987,778,981,078,910,148?

 

Wouldn't your theory be falsified if there was even one number higher than yours?

 

 

 

 

 

You mentioned that your number had no numbers 1-6, yet there are 1s and a 4, which you read as "ten" and "fourteen". What's the significance of that?

"12978189 digits"

12978189 is a smaller number then 7,987,987,778,981,078,910,148

ten and fourteen are clearly higher then numbers 1-6?

This prime number is bigger and has 100 digits:

 

7,212,610,147,295,474,909,544,523,785,043,492,409,969,382,148,186,765,460,082,500,085,393,519,556,525,921,455,588,705,423,020,751,421

 

This prime number is even bigger yet with 200 digits:

 

40,992,408,416,096,028,179,761,232,532,587,525,402,909,285,099,086,220,133,403,920,525,409,552,083,528,606,215,439,915,948,260,875,718,893,

But all these numbers you've provided are not proper numbers. Plus I did all the calculations and none of these numbers were the answer

Not a proper number? You just made 7,212,610,147,295,474,909,544,523,785,043,492,409,969,382,148,186,765,460,082,500,085,393,519,556,525,921,455,588,705,423,020,751,421 cry :'( The answer to what? The meaning of life?

 

The answer to "what is the biggest number of all time"??? I thought this was clear?

Well, if the numbers I have listed are bigger than your number, then clearly your number is NOT the biggest number of all time. Oh... prime numbers are probably more proper than yours. :lol:

Here is that link you missed:

Ooo.... this one is huge:

I can keep this up all day. If you are interested in large numbers than visit this site:

They love to prove that these large numbers are primes.
