A googol is the number 1 followed by one hundred zeros.How many zeros would the number with a value that is 1/10 the value of a googol have?show your work or explain your reasoning?

Answer 1

A google in scientific notation is 1*10^100
1/10 of a google is 1/10 * 1*10^100
10^-1 * 1*10^100 is 1/10 of a google.
1*10^(100 - 1) = 1 * 10^99

1/10 of a google would have 99 zeros after it. <<<< answer.
