Now this is more of a challenge than anything. For those of you not familiar with what I am talking about, if you type 2 * 3 in google search you will see something like: 2 * 3 = 6 at the top of the SERP. So, I was thinking the other day, what is the absolute largest number than you can calculate. So I stated with 2 ^ 1023. Not surprisingly you Google can calculate that number. But 2 ^ 1024 is off, which means we are dealing with sort of limit function here. So after spending a few minutes, I have finally managed to find the magic number:

1.79769313 × 10³⁰⁸

So how did I get to it? I realized that 2 ^ 1024 is perhaps the infinite limit function that we are dealing wit here. So the number we are dealing with is 2 ^ 1023 multiplied by a number less than 2. I decided to take 1.99 and go with it. So the following is as much as I went:

(2^1 023) * 1.99999999999999988889999 = 1.79769313 × 10³⁰⁸

Now if any one can come up with a bigger total number, I’d be interested to see it. Of course, our mathematicians are more than welcome to explain out this number…
