Visualization of boogafive using exponentiation

Boogafive is equal to \(5\uparrow\uparrow\uparrow5\), or 5 pentated to 5.[1]

Googology Wiki user Hyp cos calls this number pentro, and it's equal to s(5,5,3) = s(5,2,4) = s(5,3,1,2) in strong array notation.[2]

Googology Wiki user HaydenTheGoogologist2009 calls this number Hayden's Tripent, and it's equal to 5(5)5 in Hayden's Array Notation.[3]

Googology Wiki user Pluto2025 calls this number Pentateletrom and is equal to [5,5/5] in TBAN[4]

Etymology[]

The name "boogafive" is formed by adding the booga- prefix to 5.

The name "pentro" is based on the word "penta" and "tri" (Greek for 5 and 3), meaning a base-5 number, generated using hyper-3 operation based on exponentiation.

Computation[]

Boogafive can be computed in the following process:

  • \(f(1)=5\)
  • \(f(2)=5^5=3,125\)
  • \(f(3)=5^{5^5}\approx1.911\times10^{2,184}\)
  • \(f(4)=5^{5^{5^5}}\)
  • etc.
  • Boogafive is equal to \(f(f(f(f(5))))\).
