With hyper-operators you can write something very short that is a really huge number:
9[9]9

Does this number express anything you like? At first glance, it's boring af, like why even bother.

I can beat that, i was looking for special primes and ended up working with numbers that are gigabytes big. I did this with gmplib. i think the biggest number i ended up testing was about 500mb but i did benchmarks with numbers in the two gigabyte area. Thats two gigabytes of digits. Pretty big numbers

I stopped at 103.
10^103, to be exact.
While you counted, I increased the exponent.

1.
You heard me: El Uno. Le Primo Firstimo.
Look, 1 = 1•1•1• … = 1^(1^(1^ … ))
All your standard embiggening tricks fail!
You cannot make One any larger, because it is ALREADY AS LARGE AS IT CAN BE!
Ergo, 1 is biggest.

sometimes I wonder what the smallest natural number is, that has never been used by anybody for anything

>>17061439
>what is the smallest unpopular natural number?
Now we’re Mathing with /sci/-Powers.

>>17061447
Define popularity [math]P(n)[/math] as the cardinality of OEIS sequence memberships for a given integer [math]n[/math].
We seek the minimum:
[math]n^* = \arg\min_{n \in \mathbb{N}} P(n)[/math]
Empirically, this is a moving target due to mathematical inflation. Historically: 11630 (2009), 12407 (2011), 14228 (2014). Currently, the empirical floor hovers around [math]n^* \approx 14228[/math]. However, this calculation is fundamentally trapped in the **Interesting Number Paradox** (a specific instance of Berry's Paradox).
By identifying [math]n^*[/math] as the *smallest* unpopular number, we assign it a unique, defining mathematical property. The exact moment it is calculated and published, [math]P(n^*)[/math] strictly increases by 1, and the minimum immediately shifts to a new integer.

What's the biggest number you can put in a post without hitting the character limit?

>>17060974
numbers arent real. you cant see them.
go outside into nature and show me a number, anywhere.
nothing

I have seen numbers as large as 150 and refuse to count any further.
