What is the largest number ever recorded and what was being counted.?

Probably the number of protons in the universe. (it's an estimate) It's a figure that is 102 digits long and all different digits.   Not just 1 with 100 zeros after it.  The biggest number known is a googleplex. A google is 1 with 100 0's after it and a googleplex is 1 with a google amount of 0's after it... it's huge.  Curiously there are only just enough protons in the universe to write it down, and that's using one proton per number...

you could try looking up the number on one of the multiple archive sites on the web.  Maybe a page with their number was cached a while ago with their information.\n\nLink below.

The "Top Ten" Record Primes\nThe Ten Largest Known Primes See also the page: The top 20: largest known primes.\n\n    The largest known prime has almost always been a Mersenne prime.  Why Mersennes?  Because the way the largest numbers N are proven prime is based on the factorizations of either N+1 or N-1, and for Mersennes the factorization of N+1 is as trivial as possible (a power of two). \n\n    The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) was launched by George Woltman in early 1996, and has had a virtual lock on the largest known prime since then.  This is because its excellent free software is easy to install and maintain, requiring little of the user other than watch and see if they find the next big one!  Tens of thousands of users have replaced the ubiquitous inane "screen savers" with this much more productive use of their computer's idle time (and the hope of winning some EFF prize money)!\n\n    Any record in this list of the top ten is a testament to the incredible amount of work put in by the programmers, project directors (GIMPS, Seventeen or Bust, Generalized Fermat Search...), and the tens of thousands of enthusiasts!\n\n    rankprime digitswhowhenreference\n    1230402457-1 9152052 G92005 Mersenne 43??\n    2225964951-1 7816230 G82005 Mersenne 42??\n    3224036583-1 7235733 G72004 Mersenne 41??\n    4220996011-1 6320430 G62003 Mersenne 40??\n    5213466917-1 4053946 G52001 Mersenne 39?\n    627653.29167433+1 2759677 SB82005 \n    728433.27830457+1 2357207 SB72004 \n    826972593-1 2098960 G41999 Mersenne 38\n    95359.25054502+1 1521561 SB62003 \n    104847.23321063+1 999744 SB92005

Technically 1,024.  But most hard drive manufacturers count 1,000 megabytes in a gig.

The largest medically verified penis on record is 13.5 inches long and 6.25 inches around, documented in the early twentieth century by Dr. Robert L. Dickinson. Other sources (Alfred Kinsey, Masters and Johnson, etc.) mention specimens ranging from 9.5 to 12 inches.

Go here to look in the guinnes book of world records\n\nhttp://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/\nThis i found on google tho\n\nLargest Penis Recorded!\n(yes, on a human, not a horse):\n13.5 inches long and 6.25 inches around (documented in the early 1900's by Dr. Robert L. Dickinson). That's some serious meat. In case that makes you feel inadequate, there have been cases reported of Micropenises (less than 1 cm in length).
