A Googol!

Braden's 2nd grade talent show was today. He explained how to multiply large numbers.

1 x 1000 = 1,000
1,000 x 1,000 = 1,000,000 (1 million)
1,000,000 x 1,000 = 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) Warren Buffet has 64 of these in dollars
1,000,000,000 x 1,000 = 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion)
1,000,000,000,000 x 1,000 = 1,000,000,000,000,000 (1 quadrillion)
1,000,000,000,000,000 x 1,000 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1 quintillion)

(turn your volume up on this video...it's kind of hard to hear).
