84 with 100 zeros after it??

How would I write 84 with 100 zeros after it? Is that the same as 84 to the 100th power? Thanks. :)

In scientific notation it would be:

84x10[sup]100[/sup]

or in computer scientific notation:
84e100

You would not write 84[sup]100[/sup] because that is multiplying 84*84 100 times, instead of 100 zeros.

On a side note, 10[sup]100[/sup] is called a googol.  So your number would be 84 googol.
