	Quintillion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A quintillion is a number written as either:
		In the American system of numeration (sometimes called the "short scale"), this number is equal to 1,000 quadrillion, or a billion billion.
		Just read that "Quintillion" was the name of a Geographic Information System used by McDonald's to analyse data to help predict a new location for one of its restaurants (I read it in the book 'Fast Food Nation' by Eric Schlosser).

	Names of large numbers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		References to names of quantities larger than a quadrillion, however, are rare, and increasingly artificial; they tend to be limited to discussions of names of numbers, or mathematical concepts.
		For example, the first hit on "quintillion" is about a man who is trying to preserve the Etsako language by codifying it, and "went as far as providing numerals from one to quintillion".
		For example, as of 2004, Google searches on French-language pages for "trillion", "trilliard", "quadrillion", "quadrilliard", and "quintillion" return, respectively, 6630, 102, 312, 7, and 127 hits, respectively (however, one has to take into account that these large numbers are not needed too often and scientists prefer mostly exponents anyhow).

	Quintillion Press Release 2
		Using a digital camera, a Quintillion staffer shoots photos of the exterior of a local business, and/or a couple of interior shots, according to the business owner's preference.
		Quintillion then adds the photos and information about the business to its computer site, and a powerful new advertising vehicle is created almost instantly.
		As the project is a prototype, Quintillion is providing all the resources, financial and otherwise, and has committed to operate the Directory for at least a year in order to evaluate the results.

	43 QUINTILLION COMBINATIONS
		The answer, roughly 43 quintillion, is printed on the box, but let's try to justify it.
		Professional mathematicians might apply the techniques of Schreier rewriting, as described in their advanced group theory textbooks, but (fortunately) one need not resort to graduate mathematics to solve the problem.
		Since there are 48 possible rotations and reflections of the cube in 3-space, the approximate answer is 43 quintillion divided by 48, or just under a quintillion.

	Overlawyered: A 1 in 1.09 quintillion chance
		The defense argued that's nearly impossible because someone would have had to actually have lung tissue containing the cancer cells on his fingertips while when he handled the sample.
		The hospital's attorneys argued during opening statements last week that the chances of Gerald Brown's DNA being contaminated was 1 in 1.09 quintillion.
		In fact, the chances of that happening may be even greater since that one-in-a-quintillion person would have to be in Punta Gorda, inside Charlotte Regional, having a lung biopsy at the same time and have small cell lung cancer.

		I am looking for the word that describes a the number 9 with twenty zero's after it.
		I was able to determine that 9 with 18 zero's after it is quintillion and 9 with 21 zero's is sextillion but nothing for 9 with twenty zero's after it.
		Quintillion, although accurate means nothing to most people.

		This is big — for context, the # of particles in the universe (electrons, photons, quarks, etc), is estimated at 10
		That is, if you went around the entire universe, and for every sub-atomic particle you stopped and counted up to a quintillion, then you'd only be 1% of the way to a googol.
		In the late 1930s, [mathematician Edward Kasner] was once asked to come up with a name for a very large number.

		PDT is especially handy when you need to edit almost any-size file or need to edit any character in files, figure out file structures, read or verify the values of numeric fields (even fields stored in packed form), repair damaged files, and view and edit EBCDIC files (like those downloaded from IBM mainframe computers).
		And you can view and edit files in either normal or Hexadecimal modes -- both modes at the same time if you like.
		You can edit huge files – files with over 18 quintillion bytes in PDT-Windows, and up to 2 gigabytes in PDT (DOS)!
