Did you ever wonder where GoogolTek got it's name from? No, it didn't come the baby/young child's word google. The word googol is actually derived from the google. A googol is a number consisting of a 1 followed by 100 zeros, or 1 × 10100. It is called so because a mathematician's child kept repeatedly pointing at her father's work and saying "That's a googol numbers." For your reference, a chart of other large numbers follows:
