Answer:

100'000'000'000'000

(trillion gaxies in the universe)

Explanation:

10×10^10= 10(10'000'000'000)=100'000'000'000

(hundred billion stars in milky way)

100'000'000'000'000'000'000'000 (hundred sextillion stars in universe)

100'000'000'000'000'000'000'000 / 100'000'000'000= 100'000'000'000'000

(trillion gaxies in the universe)
