== Calvin and Hobbes definition ==
This definition comes from the following comic strip:
Calvin: Psst! Susie, what's 7 + 6?
Susie: Three hundred billion gazillion.
Calvin: Oh, thanks for the big help!
Susie: That's a three, followed by 85 zeroes.
Calvin: Ah! I knew that.
Since 300 billion gazillion is equal to \(3 \cdot 10^{85}\), a gazillion would then be equal to \(10^{74}\), or one hundred tresvigintillion.Pointless Gigantic List of Numbers - Part 2: The Little Babies If you use the long scale, a gazillion is equal to \(10^{71}\).
Cookiefonster calls 300 billion gazillion = \(3 \cdot 10^{85}\) the "Calvin and Hobbes number".
== Greg Clarke's definition ==
Greg Clarke claimed "gazzen" means "earthly edge" in Latin and defined Gazillion (capitalized as a proper noun) as 1028,819⋅3 = 1086,457, where 28,819 is the number of Ancient Greek miles in one full revolution around the globe. Note that this does not correspond to either the short or long scale.https://gregology.net/reference/gazillion/ He formerly used 28,810 instead of 28,819, giving a value of 1086,430.https://web.archive.org/web/20121123203039/http://gregology.net/reference/gazillion/
