Are there any higher numbers in the Googol family?
None include any higher names in the googol family (googolduplex, etc.). The Oxford English Dictionary comments that googol and googolplex are “not in formal mathematical use”. Some names of large numbers, such as million, billion, and trillion, have real referents in human experience, and are encountered in many contexts.
Why are there so many names for large numbers?
Most names proposed for large numbers belong to systematic schemes which are extensible. Thus, many names for large numbers are simply the result of following a naming system to its logical conclusion—or extending it further.

How do you write 1 billion on a number line?
It is written as 1,000,000,000 or 10 9. This number is used often in science and finance, and it is called the “short scale.”. In the “long scale,” 1 billion is equal to 1 million million. For this number, you will need a 1 followed by 12 zeros: 1,000,000,000,000 or 10 12.
