A better Gemini also works. Google Search seems to use the most minimal of Geminis, giving it a bad rep.

Prompt: “How many A4 pages would a 1073741823×1073741824 image printed at 600dpi be?”

Gemini Pro: “It would require approximately 33.1 billion (33,127,520,230) A4 pages to print that image.

To put that into perspective, the image would cover an area of 2,066 square kilometers […].

The Math

1. Image Dimensions: 1,073,741,823 × 1,073,741,824 pixels.

2. Physical Size: At 600 DPI, the image measures roughly 45.45 km wide by 45.45 km tall.

3. A4 Area: A single sheet of A4 paper (210 mm * 297 mm) covers approximately 0.06237 m².

4. Result: 2,066,163,436 m² / 0.06237 m² ≈ 33,127,520,230 pages.”
