The gorgegolplex is equal to E(E100#100#100#100#100) using Hyper-E notation.[1] It is equal to 1 followed by gorgegol zeroes or 10gorgegol. The term was coined by Sbiis Saibian to show how negligible the effect the -plex prefix gives to heptational level numbers. It is gorgegol+1 digits long.

Etymology[]

The 2 parts of the name, "gorgegol" and "-plex" means E100#100#100#100#100 and 10n which basically means 1 followed by n zeroes, which formed 10(E100#100#100#100#100) (1 followed by gulgol zeroes) when concentrated from left to right. So the full name indicates how the number is constructed.
