According to the provided reference (Names of Big Numbers), the names of large numbers are as follows:

Number Scientific Notation Name
1,000,000,000,000,000,000 1018 Quintillion
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 1021 Sextillion
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 1024 Septillion
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 1027 Octillion
