I can't stop thinking about the fact that I was in the other room hearing it live when you where recording

How could you ever forget Kajillion though?? It completes the alphabet

For those who were wondering, deep into googology, we can find the first two numbers with either j or k. The first number with k in the beginning or has k in it is a Killillion, which is equal to 10^((3*10^3000)+3), which means it is the (999-illion)-illion, or the Novemnonagintanongentillionth -illion. The first number with a j in it is a Mejillion, which is equal to 10^(3*10^(3*10^(3*10^6)))+3 The first number to start with j is a Jovillion, which is equal to a whopping 10^(3*10^(3*10^(3*10^21)))+3, and it is one of the largest official coined -illions, which includes: Solillion - 10^(3*10^(3*10^(3*10^24)))+3 Betillion - 10^(3*10^(3*10^(3*10^27)))+3 Glocillion - 10^(3*10^(3*10^(3*10^30)))+3 Gaxillion - 10^(3*10^(3*10^(3*10^33)))+3 Supillion - 10^(3*10^(3*10^(3*10^36)))+3 Versillion - 10^(3*10^(3*10^(3*10^39)))+3 And the largest, Multillion - 10^(3*10^(3*10^(3*10^42)))+3

why in the thunbnail are the letter S,E,X in red? 🤨 /edit: this was 2 mounths ago

The numbers and the alphabet LITERALLY TEAMED UP TO SAY "just kidding" 💀💀💀

It's interesting that J and K are the two letters that never appear in English number names. J makes sense as it's a relatively recent addition to the alphabet, less than 500 years old and thus well after the Latin words used to name large numbers were created, but K is an extremely old letter, albeit one whose usage even in old Latin was very limited due to its sound being interchangeable with C.

Uhh.. why does this have like a million views?

3:41 epic word somewhere :D

Fun fact - while the "-illions" start with systematic prefixes (bi-, tri-, quadri-, etc.), "million" does not come from "mono-" + "-illion". It comes from Italian "milione", from "mille" + "-one" (lit. "thousand big"). The "-illion" system is a back-formation.

if you count for an infinitely long time, you'll use every letter in the alphabet ...JK

Liked the video at 2-illion, subscribed due to fire outro, godspeed

We need to add Krillion to finally include the letter K

0:47 “both F and U” I feel offended.

earned yourself a new sub, this was an amazing video.

I remember watching either this or something like this

A killillion is equal to 10^(3(10^3000)+3) or 10^(3 novemnonagintnogentillion+3). The term was coined by Jonathan Bowers. In his naming system, it is the smallest positive integer with the letter "k" in the name. Written out in scientific notation, a killillion is: 10^3000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003

"You don't need J or K when you're counting' Killillion and Jovillion: Are you sure about that?

I think the bi- and tri- and so on refer to the number of groups of three zeros past 1000. A billion is 1000 plus two additional groups of zeros, or 1 with nine zeros. A trillion has three additional groups of zeros, a quadrillion four, and so on. Hence, a centillion would be 100 additional groups of three zeros beyond 1000, or 1 plus 303 zeros. That’s the mnemonic device I use.

You have to go to inconceivably large numbers, but there are numbers with a K, such as Bukkuwaha. Yes, that's a real number. EDIT: So I did a little research. The smallest positive real integer to have a J in its name is tritet jr. That's 4^^4, or 4^4^4^4. The smallest positive real integer with a K in its name is Kilofaxul, which is (200!)!. Both are mind-bogglingly huge numbers.

Well actually, J and K can be used in some numbers. The way K can be used is by using the SI prefix kilo, abbreviated with K, which is also the abbreviation for thousand. But how to we get J used? You could say made-up numbers like bajillion, but that doesn’t work. The only possible way to use J in a number is using Bowers’ numbers. The second tier 4 “illion” is called a mejillion, which has a J in it. Also since Z is only used in zero, it has to be used somewhere else. The seventh tier 2 illion is called a zeptillion, (not to be confused with septillion) has a Z in it, so the answer is J, K, and Z are used in numbers.

I just noticed that FIVE "has" the roman numerals IV for four. Lovely

Super interesting video, loved it

Im not gonna lie bro sound a lil special

(Every time a letter is found, it is eliminated) 26. Z - first found in zero 25. E 24. R 23. O 22. N - first found in one 21. T - first found in two 20. W 19. H - first found in three 18. F - first found in four bruh 17. U 16. I - first found in five 15. V 14. S - first found in six bruh 13. X 12. G - first found in eight 11. L - first found in eleven 10. Y - first found in twenty 9. D - first found in one hundred 8. A - first found in one thousand 7. M - first found in one million 6. B - first found in one billion 5. Q - first found in one quadrillion 4. P - first found in one septillion 3. C - first found in one octillion 2. K - first found in one dekillion (10^3 decillion 3) 1. J - first found in one mejillion (10^3 megillion 3)

Four gives us F and U, i laughed at that very subtle insult XD

Last time I checked Names have letters in them.

wow jon from fishtank knows so much about numbers and letters! keep up the jontent!

These types of videos are fixing my attention span.

Bro knew exactly what he was doing when he made the thumbnail💀

4:25 in mathematics, the letters j and k are often used as a counting index. In order to count forever, you need the letter k very much. Technically, any number a_k has the letter k in it.

ay are u from like east Massachusetts? u have the exact same accent as my cousin.

if we take note of the Big Numbers wiki there ARE infact numbers with J and K in them, the lowest for each is: Kilillion = 10^(10^3003) or 10^Millinillion Mejillion = 10^(30^(30^(3000000))+3)

In non-math numbers THERE are numbers with J and K in its name, like "Killillion" and "meJillion" But that 2 numbers are so big and so far away from zero that is very difficult to find them. So, this are the letters missing. J and K.

3:09 I wasn’t ready for the part when he said “sex,tillion”

i, j, and k are unit components in quaternions, which are like complex numbers another step up.

Technically numbers higher than 999 Trillion are generally referred to in scientific notation or as multiples of million/billion/trillion. For instance, people usually say things like "One Trillion Trillion." It's just easier to understand this way. It's one trillion trillions. instead of doing mental math to be be like "okay wait how many zeroes is that? And then how much would that be?"

J and K were never in the latin alphabet, so it makes sense as they founded our understanding of mathematics and numbers. EDIT: sorry guys - i mean latin used translated greek

The number "kilillion", which is the millillionth -illion, or 10^(3 millillion)+3), which is a one followed by a number of zeroes that is itself over three thousand digits long, could be counted as the first number with a K. Also using Jonathan Bowers's system, the first number with a J is "mejillion", which is the megillionth -illion, or 10^(3 megillion)+3. Z also appears infinitely; the first Z after 0 is "zeptillion", which is a 1 followed by (3×10^21)+3 zeroes.

Fun fact: if you do this in dutch you also don't use 2 letters (those being k and y) However instead of using a point in numbers like 2.5 we use a comma And comma in dutch is spelled komma So you can technically still use the k

I did this for polish and the letters you would never need to use are f, h, ł, ó, ź and ż

Killillion: *not yet* Jovillion: *yeah, **_we truly care and agree with Killillion_*

Actually, akin to the letters i and j coming from the same source (Latin i), most of the "k"s were changed into "c"s in Latin. The root of "decem" (meaning 10, used in the number decillion) actually has the k in it.

Arrange the red letters in the thumbnail in this order: 1st: the bottommost letter 2nd: the topmost letter 3rd: the middle letter Also at 3:36 see the prefix at the 2nd row and 2nd column

Bro knew perfectly what he was doing in the thumbnail.

3:36 idk why but seeing "sex" felt so random

Is it possible that the reason why no numbers are spelled with "J" or "K" is because Latin didn't have either of those letters? Latin instead made "i" and "J" the same letter which was used as either a vowel or a consonant, similarly to how "i" is used in the modern day as a vowel and "J" is used in the modern day as a consonant, and Latin didn't really need a "K" as "C" always made the hard "K" sound. However, evidence that could disprove this theory is that Latin also didn't distinguish between "U" and "V", using the same letter interchangeably as a vowel or consonant similarly to "i" and "J", and it didn't have a "W" as U/V as a consonant was pronounced similarly to how "W" is pronounced, but "U", "V", and "W" all appear in the names of letters.

bro knew what he was doing in the thumbnail

Funny part is they can stand for 'Just Kidding' 😂

Awesome video! Loving the uploads 👍

1:35 Technically, the word "and" is supposed to represent the decimal point, or at least that's what I was taught in school.

So cute

This is that one kid who’s telling the quiet kid about all this stuff while the quiet kid already knows everything in the world…

3:37 You can literally see the word. What have I done letting my eyes find that word ☹️💀

0:29 As a non-native English speaker “Forst lettor of the forst numbor” hurts my brain 😣

This feels like something I would do at 3am

The outro has like everything

1:27 ..." Just kidding,' all of this is a joke"

0:44 Four has a F U me: is it Fu you?

Damn, Andre the Giant is smart!

Moral of the story is that counting is no joke

Very nice names. I'd love to see a video like this.

That ending would have been so good for an April Fools joke.

Good Work

Fun fact, 7 is the only number from 1-10 that has more than 1 syllable, that’s why it takes longer to pronounce and 1-10 has 11 syllables.

4:31 Unless you say "jk"

one of the most interesting videos i've seen on youtube in a while. good work man

Novemnogintanongentillion 3:59

In indian english we have lakh(1 lakh is 100 thousand) which is a very common number used

notice how the names after "million" are based on Latin, which had no J and only very rarely had a K (I mean, Kalendae is the only word I can think of that usually has a K in it)

1:58 "You can watch MrBeast count to a million" *Shows a video of MrBeast count to 200,000* Me: Over a reach to a million later

New brain teaser: Name the first number to have a C in it 😂

Kajillion: Hold my beer

"Zero is the only number with a Z in it" One million gazillion:

J and k, interestingly enough, are parallel to one and are something like the cube root of i. Math becomes really odd at that level. A+b eventually stops being b + A.

Wow i didn't know that

Still shocked that the person that created the alphabet (26 letters) and only created 171,476 words But a guy created 10 numbers and could reach infinity ♾️∞

4:25 and those are my favorite letters

3:37 HE SAID SEX!!!!1!11!1!1

It is possible to find numbers with J and K, but we don't NEED them to count forever. Also, at the end, 40 is usually spelled "forty", not "fourty".

Nah who else immediately thought of kajillion when only k and j were left

Is it just me or does quinquinquaginitllion sound like the full name of a British gentleman

3:28 just kidding, it is kajillion

“I am one in a krillion” -Will the krill

Can you do one like this in brazilian portuguese?

What about specific named numbers, like Googol, googolplex, or marioplex (from that one Game Theory Episode)

3:00 Dare anyone to say these 5 times fast 😉🤣

Bro really said “I’m just kidding, or am 8?”

Many billions of years later, you reach the weakly compact cardinal, which has a K in it, and its symbol is “k” , so after all that time we finally reached a number with k in its name, so we only have one last letter to find, J, also, here’s a fun fact: the names of all the elements of the periodic table have all the letters in English, except The letter J.

The thumbnail 💀💀💀💀💀

For those wondering in french (exept if i forgot some) you can't have B J K W Y and after 'mille' their is no more new letter

2:30 j and k right C is centillion P is septillion Q is quadrillion and quintilltion

That thumbnail is wild💀

This would've been a good idea for an april fools joke, leaving J and K at the end and then revealing that the numbers you used weren't real numbers (i know they are real numbers its an idea)

0:13 oh god, I was like, hmmm z must take a really long time, must be in some thing like zeptillion. I litterly forgot about zero

Ahh, time for the ever-underestimated one Kajillion. In that scale, the series goes Zillion, Bazillion, Kazillion, Jillion, Bajillion, Kajillion, Kjghpillion. I think there's a Silmarillion in there too, and maybe a NathanFillion.

0:42 "and four gives us an F and U"

Ya know, there is a way you can see "Z" again. There are metric prefixes that stand for the -illions. - Mega (million) - Giga (billion) - Tera (trillion) - Peta (quadrillion) - Exa (quintillion) - Zetta (sextillion) - Yotta (septillion) - Ronna (octillion) - Quetta (nonillion) THEORETICALLY, we could apply this to the -illions. - Megillion (the millionth -illion or 10^(3e6+3)) - Gigillion (the billionth -illion or 10^(3e9+3)) - Terillion (the trillionth -illion or 10^(3e12+3)) - Petillion (the quadrillionth -illion or 10^(3e15+3)) - Exillion (the quintillionth -illion or 10^(3e18+3)) - Zettillion (the sextillionth -illion or 10^(3e21+3)) - Yottillion (the septillionth -illion or 10^(3e24+3)) - Ronnillion (the octillionth -illion or 10^(3e27+3)) - Quettillion (the nonillionth -illion or 10^(3e30+3)) Therefore, THEORETICALLY the zettillions would also be numbers with the letter "Z" in their name, bringing the total to one zettillion and one.

There is K in some numbers There is a number called killillion It is 10^(3×(10^3000)+3) It has 2 other names, alternately onillion or zerillion It is actually the smallest positive integer that has k in its name

Numbers that use these letters at 2:13 are 1 billion, 1 octillion, 1 quadrillion, 1 mejillion, 1 killillion and 1 million.

very interesting thumbnail
