-minex

-minex is a suffix where Nminex is defined as 10-N in The Book of Numbers by John Horton Conway and Richard K. Guy,Conway, J. and Guy, R.K. The Book of Numbers Copernicus. 1996. p.16 with a credit to Tadashi Tokieda. It serves as the antonym of -plex. Instead of replacing a number \(n\) with ten raised to that number (\(10^{n}\)), '-minex' does the opposite, reducing a number by a factor of \(10^{-n}\). It can be used to harmlessly curtail any power of ten. With appropriate infix modifiers any number of tailing zeroes can be eliminated. It is used in Googolminex.
== Examples ==
* An unit is a 10minex meter.
* googolminex = 10-(10100) = 1/1010100 = (1010100)-1 = 0.000...001 (googol zeroes, including the first one) = 1/googolplex
