WHAT IS TH HIGHEST NUMBER YOU CAN GET ON A CALCULATOR

That depends entirely on the calculator.

 

I have a few old fashion ones  (the ones that are calculators, and nothing more) that can show eight digts, hence the highest # that can be displayed is: 999 999 99.

 

If scientific notation is "allowed", some calculators can display truly enormous #'s. The calculator on my phone can show numbers up to 101000

 

The calculator-function on Wolfram Alpha allowes power towers, such as:

 

$$10^{10^{10^{10^{10}}}}$$

 

A # so enormous, it is hard to even grasp the concept of.
