Numbers have names with letters in them!

I can't stop thinking about the fact that I was in the other room hearing it live when you where recording

[statsy]

How could you ever forget Kajillion though?? It completes the alphabet

[universe_image]

/edit: forget what i said it was stuped

The numbers and the alphabet LITERALLY TEAMED UP TO SAY "just kidding" 💀💀💀

[asteroidrules]

It's interesting that J and K are the two letters that never appear in English number names. J makes sense as it's a relatively recent addition to the alphabet, less than 500 years old and thus well after the Latin words used to name large numbers were created, but K is an extremely old letter, albeit one whose usage even in old Latin was very limited due to its sound being interchangeable with C.

Last time I checked Names have letters in them.

Liked the video at 2-illion, subscribed due to fire outro, godspeed

[suomeaboo]

Fun fact - while the "-illions" start with systematic prefixes (bi-, tri-, quadri-, etc.), "million" does not come from "mono-" + "-illion". It comes from Italian "milione", from "mille" + "-one" (lit. "thousand big"). The "-illion" system is a back-formation.

We need to add Krillion to finally include the letter K

Bro really said “I’m just kidding, or am 8?”

I remember watching either this or something like this

"You don't need J or K when you're counting'
Killillion and Jovillion: Are you sure about that?

[Waylonwars]

These types of videos are fixing my attention span.

A killillion is equal to 10^(3(10^3000)+3) or 10^(3 novemnonagintnogentillion+3). The term was coined by Jonathan Bowers. In his naming system, it is the smallest positive integer with the letter "k" in the name.

Written out in scientific notation, a killillion is:

I just wanted to see what the results were if I did this in German, so I spent some time and did it. Major differences are:
- German doesn't use j, x, y and ä in any name for numbers
- b and c occur significantly earlier and more often since they are in the German names for 7 (sieben) and 8 (acht)
- the only times German uses the letter k are in Oktillion and Oktilliarde
- German uses the letters ö, ü and ß in 5(fünf), 12(zwölf) and 30(dreißig)

if you count for an infinitely long time, you'll use every letter in the alphabet


...JK

[zdoh-RandomHandle]

Well actually, J and K can be used in some numbers. The way K can be used is by using the SI prefix kilo, abbreviated with K, which is also the abbreviation for thousand. But how to we get J used? You could say made-up numbers like bajillion, but that doesn’t work. The only possible way to use J in a number is using Bowers’ numbers. The second tier 4 “illion” is called a mejillion, which has a J in it. Also since Z is only used in zero, it has to be used somewhere else. The seventh tier 2 illion is called a zeptillion, (not to be confused with septillion) has a Z in it, so the answer is J, K, and Z are used in numbers.

[cubefromblender]

if we take note of the Big Numbers wiki
there ARE infact numbers with J and K in them, the lowest for each is:
Kilillion = 10^(10^3003) or 10^Millinillion
Mejillion =
