A single sheet of paper cannot be folded in half more than about 7 times by hand, but the math shows that folding it 42 times would reach the Moon.

A googol (10^100) was named by the 9-year-old nephew of mathematician Edward Kasner. Google's name is a misspelling of this mathematical term.

Glossary

Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)
The largest positive integer that divides each of a set of numbers without a remainder. GCD is used to simplify fractions and solve number theory problems.
Standard Deviation
A measure of the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of values. A low standard deviation means values tend to be close to the mean, while a high one indicates spread.
Mean, Median, Mode
Three measures of central tendency. The mean is the arithmetic average, the median is the middle value when sorted, and the mode is the most frequently occurring value.
Factorial
The product of all positive integers up to a given number, denoted by n!. Factorials appear in permutations, combinations, and probability calculations.
