What's special about the numbers

8,589,934.592 and

116,415,321,826,934,814,453,125 ?

Answer 1

Is that a decimal point in the first number?

Answer 2

Oops, screw up, s/b comma sorry....

Answer 3

IS IT A SPECIAL NUMBER?

Answer 4

What's a special number?

Answer 5

WELL I think 89 is the special number and I think u know why.

Answer 6

It's on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/89_(number)

Answer 7

what about 90

Answer 8

I don't know about 90...

Answer 9

It will be soon special

Answer 10

Wow, I thought this would be answered in no time...

Answer 11

@sauravshakya

Come on, I will help u to 90:-)

Answer 12

At first, I thought they might be Fibonacci numbers, but I checked and they aren't. Then I thought they might be from the cousins of Fibonacci numbers athat start with 1, 3, etc, but I can't remember the name of that series.

Answer 13

BOTH ARE RATIONAL NUMBERS.......lol

Answer 14

Not special enough...

Answer 15

And both don't fit in my calculator.

Answer 16

Um, maybe that counts....:-)

Answer 17

The second one looks like our national debt.

Answer 18

OK, I will give you a clue, the second one is 5^33

Answer 19

There are no 0's in both numbers and when you multiply them you get 1000000000000000000000000000000000

Answer 20

2^33 for the other

Answer 21

10^(33) largest known power of 10 that can be represented by the product of 2 numbers that contain no zeros

Answer 22

Something about no shared numbers between composites and its primes I think

Answer 23

Isn't this a rather silly question? First, you need special software to work with numbers this large.

Answer 24

No thats wrong cuz the first is not prime

Answer 25

I just multiplied and guessed. Good question @estudier

Answer 26

"Isn't this a rather silly question? First, you need special software to work with numbers this large."

That's what experimental number theorists do for a living :)

Answer 27

HOW TO MULTIPLY SUCH LARGE NUMBERS.

Answer 28

Is that what you do?

Answer 29

Yes, but they have special software. Here, students have calculators.

Answer 30

Certainly not, I just read a lot...

Answer 31

I would like to learn it.

Answer 32

"Here, students have calculators."

and Wolfram

Answer 33

ahh wolfram. My lifeline to advanced math

Answer 34

I'm going to go do something relevant and meaningful.

Answer 35

:-)

Answer 36

2^33 * 5^33 = (2*5)^33=10^33

Answer 37

BUT HOW?
116,415,321,826,934,814,453,125=5^33

Answer 38

It is conjectured that there is no larger power of 10 in similar way (or at least, we will never find it if there is)
