Some numbers are so big, they might as well be endless. Imagine counting to a million, that takes time, but it’s still finite. Now imagine counting to a number that has millions of digits, like ten thousand billions! It feels like you’ll never finish counting. That’s what people mean when they say some numbers look like infinity.
Examples
- A number like 999,999,999,999 feels almost infinite.
- π has over 10 trillion known digits, and it doesn’t stop there!
