上一篇文章寫到一些很龐大的數目,大數目你是否知道怎數呢?
個、十、百、千、萬是中文數字的基本結構,再大的數目就以10的四次方去增加,例如:
個 = 1 = 1
十 = 101 = 10
百 = 102 = 100
千 = 1000 = 1,000
萬 = 104 = 10,000
億 = 108 = 100,000,000
兆 = 1012 = 1,000,000,000,000
京 = 1016 = 10,000,000,000,000,000
垓 = 1020 = 100,000,000,000,000,000,000
秭 = 1024 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
穰 = 1028 = 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
溝 = 1032 = 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
澗 = 1036 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
正 = 1040 = 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
載 = 1044 = 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
極 = 1048 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
以下更大的數目,都是存在於佛學上的數目:
恒河沙 = 1052
阿僧祇 = 1056
那由他 = 1060
不可思議 = 1064
無量 = 1068
大數 = 1072
順帶一提,天文學家推斷,在已知的宇宙當中大約有7×1022顆恆星,利用中文數字寫法,即大約有700秭顆恆星。照這個說法,天上星星的數目,還未算是「無限多」哦!:)
