Vigintillion

For Tiaokhiao's vigintillion, see novemdecillion.
A **vigintillion** is equal to 1063 in the short scale, or 10120 in the long scale. It is the largest -illion with a recognized name in the English language other than the much larger centillion, although the extended names to the -illions like unvigintillion have been recognized by many people as well. It is 64 digits long in short scale, and 121 digits long in long scale.

In the long scale, 1063 is called decilliard, which is commonly used in France and Germany.

This number is also called **icosihenillion** in Russ Rowlett's Greek-based naming system of -illions.

Aarex Tiaokhiao gave the name **vigimillion**, referring to the value of this number.
