You know what's bigger than Avogadro's number?

Avogadro's wife's number.

It can't possibly be that hard for you to understand.

1.01 x 10^9= 1 then there are 9 number behind the 1 010, 000, 000

1 x 10^-1.. Its going to be less than 1

0.1

If this is a problem for you, you are remedial.

Write out avogadro's number without scientific notation.

Now, you understand why we use it.

I am glad I rarely have to deal with molarity/molality, sure it is in almost everything I deal with but thankfully we have standard conversions and dilutions so I don't have to worry with that part unless we are getting in the weeds with something.

You’re mad because someone else counted the zeros for you? If you want to disparage significant figures instead, you may gain more support.
