Largest calculatable number

Name: Anonymous 2007-08-28 18:58 ID:YzXI8SXh

What is the largest number that can be held in (for example) a gigabyte of memory?

Ok, what if I use the first few bytes of the gigabyte to store the base of my number (as in base^exponent) and the rest of the memory stores my exponent for example. That's some huge fucking number. And not, that's not an external (and unnecessary) assumption because that's what happens on a daily basis when it comes to any kind of computational shit.
