QUATTUORDECILLION ([10.sup.45]) = (Q/U)(A x Twenty/Thousand)E(-U - [[One.sup.R x D - Eight x C]] - [I.sup.L] + [L.sup.I] + O - Nine)

QUINDECILLION ([10.sup.48]) = [(Q + [square root of [U {I + Nineteen}]] - D).sup.(Eight)(C - I - L - L - I - One + Nine)] or QUINDECILLION = Quattuordecillion x ([U x {[I.sup.{Ninety+D+Eighty+C}] + I}]E[{L/L} + I + [One.sup.Nine])
