Can someone tell me what the numerical value for the entropy of a black hole of five solar masses would be?
Is it a huge number?

For a Schwarzchild black hole:

S = \frac{2\pi kGM^2}{\hbar c}

whixh is approximately 1.811 \times 10^{55}\\ JK^{-1} For a 5 solar masses Schwarchild black hole

Thanks jcsd.
I want to see if I can come up with an equivalent calculation in theory development.
