UFO speed in MPH from nearest galaxy in one year 2021-05-22
Joe pose la question :
If the next closest galaxy is 15 quadrillion miles away and there are 8760 hours in one year; how fast would a UFO have to fly to travel from the next galaxy, in MPH in one year ?
Google calculator gives this result: 1.7123288e+12
I don't understand what the "e+12" means.
How is that pronounced, ex. trillion, quadrillion etc..?

Bases larger than ten 2009-12-14
Nick pose la question :
For numbers in bases larger than ten, what are the digits by mathematicians' conventions?

I assume the first 10 are always 0-9. I know two computer science conventions (for hexadecimal (A-F case-insensitively) and for base 85 (case-sensitivity plus 23 other characters)) and as a school student I learned that base 12 uses either T and E (which confused me when I thought they stood for Eleven and Twelve) or A and B, the latter as capitals only. Clearly, these conventions are in conflict.

I saw your reply in http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/QQ/database/QQ.09.99/magin1.html as accessed a few minutes ago but hope that in the 10 years since then mathematicians have arrived at a convention. Have they?
Thank you.

What is the highest number possible with 3 digits? 2006-11-16
Liz pose la question :
What is the highest number possible with 3 digits? The teacher said the answer is not 999 and that the question did not say "3-digit number." My answer then is 9 to the 99th power (written mathematically of course) as this uses "3 digits" and is obviously a huge number. Is this correct?

My seventh grader problem of the month

0__________1______________5____>

This is a arrow, the number should be below

A.Mrs Decker created an arrow representing a number line shown above. She wanted to find points and label them with a heart (G) for Valentine's Day so that the fraction 5/g is less than 1. (be sure to mark the G and not the fraction 5/g). She pondered, "Are there any other locations for G?" Is so help her description the location of all these points. If not why not?
