Nawazilion is a proposed name for the number in the Namkaran framework, a naming system for extremely large numbers introduced by Project Namkaran.
The proposed definition of a nawazilion is 1 followed by 1,000 zeros. The name is part of a larger series of proposed names that includes Septenawazilion, Octonawazilion and other names for numbers with increasingly large exponents.
A nawazilion is defined in the Namkaran framework as:
Since , both expressions represent the same number.
In decimal notation, it is written as a 1 followed by 1,000 zeros. It has 1,001 digits in total: one leading digit and 1,000 zeros.
Writing out all the digits is unnecessary when exponential notation can represent the number more simply.
A nawazilion is larger than a googol. The following table compares it with several other powers of ten.
| Name | Mathematical value | Number of zeros |
|---|---|---|
| Thousand | 3 | |
| Googol | 100 | |
| Nawazilion | 1,000 | |
| Googolplex |
A googol is 1 followed by 100 zeros, while a nawazilion is 1 followed by 1,000 zeros. A googolplex is 1 followed by a googol zeros and is therefore much larger than a nawazilion.
Project Namkaran describes a proposed system for naming numbers whose sizes are expressed using very large powers of ten. The system combines prefixes and name elements to create names for numbers at different levels.
In the published list, Nawazilion is the first name in a series that includes the following examples:
Each name is assigned a mathematical value within the proposed system. These names are intended to make extremely large numbers easier to refer to without writing out long strings of digits.
The Namkaran framework is a proposed naming convention. Nawazilion is not a standard mathematical term in general use.
Numbers such as are much larger than quantities commonly encountered in everyday life. Exponential notation allows mathematicians and other readers to describe such numbers without writing every digit.
The Namkaran framework presents its names as a way to communicate and explore extremely large numerical values. The proposed names can also be used in educational discussions about powers of ten and the growth of large numbers.
