What is the name for a number that has 307 zeros[edit]

What is the name for a number that has 307 zeros?--72.201.161.25 (talk) 23:44, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in mind, though, that the set of numbers with 307 zeros is infinite (even if we don't count leading or trailing zeros). —Tamfang (talk) 06:54, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
