Question:
Does a gazillion really exist?

Hi Leah
My dictionary doesn't have gazillion but it has:

Zillion: A very large, indefinite number. I think that a gazillion falls in the same category.
   If you want to see the names for large numbers, millions, billions, trillions... go to the Quandaris and Queries section of Math Central, search in the keyword field for billions, and look at the note titled Billions and more.

Cheers
Penny
