Extremely Large Numbers

I know this has been done before, but lately I have been interested in some pretty huge numbers. I would like to see some community input on big numbers, as I am attempting to make my own large number notation.When I say “Large” numbers, I mean like Graham's Number, Tree(3), etc. not looking for numbers like 1,000,000 or even Centillion (10^303).

How about 1,000,000 or centillion?

From the googology wiki? That should be the largest number, if it has been proven to exist yet.

Cardinals and Ordinals are both great.

How about a Googleplexplex? (I don't even know if that's a real thing or if that's the proper name but let's go with it )
10^(10^(10^100))

Utter oblivion is the largest number yet, but I’m going to propose utter^oblivion oblivion. Utter^2 oblivion would be just utter oblivion, but with the oblivions in the definition replaced with utter oblivions. Utter^3 would be utter^2 oblivion instead of utter oblivion, and so on. That’s the only way I can think of to make a “noticeable” difference to the number.

10^(10^(10^100))
Googolplexian
. It is pretty large, it's 1 with googolplex 0's

The ackermann function can produce extremely large numbers.
Something as basic as A(4,3) produces a value of 2^(2^65536)-3.
Take an even slightly larger example, such as:

A(6,6), which is: 2↑↑↑↑9-3
(using Knuth's Arrow notation, as the number would otherwise be too big)

Imagine something like A(100,100)


Truly a large number.

I heard that you can't write a googleplex because there isn't enough graphite in the universe to make enough pencils to write all the zeroes.

Infinity is technically not a real number because there are different levels of infinity, which means that infinity divided by infinity does not always equal 1

The number zero divided by any number.

See how I just started a debate?

do you mean any number divided by zero?
