不定數與虛構數
特定值用作不定值
無數
英語的Umpteen和umteen和umpty[10]也是未定值的大數,以幽默的方式使用或暗示不值得努力確定實際數字。儘管「-teen」結尾似乎表明它位於12到20之間。
Umpty於1905年首次記錄,表達形式為umpty-seven,暗示是10的倍數。[11][12]其中,Ump(ty)來自莫爾斯電碼的破折號。[11]
Umpteen於1918年首次記錄[13][10][14]並已成為迄今最常見的不定值大數。[15]
類似挪威語的ørten,有從tretten(13)到nitten(19)的-ten,但通常表示更大的數字。[16]
其它
「薩根」(sagan)或「薩根單位」(sagan unit)是大數的滑稽名稱,來自卡爾·薩根與短語「數十億和數十億」(billions and billions)。[23]不要將薩根數(可觀測宇宙中的恆星數)混淆。
