When considering the world's largest and most valuable companies, many people instinctively turn to the tech sector. Ever since the dot-com boom and growth of the web, technology firms have been known for their massive market caps and ability to disrupt traditional industries.

A public company's market cap (market capitalization) is a measurement of the value of its current outstanding shares. To determine the market cap, you essentially multiply the current stock price by the number of shares outstanding. For today's tech giants, that will get you some pretty large numbers.

To determine the biggest tech companies around today, Howmuch.net took a market cap ranking from Forbes and split it up a few different ways to create a unique infographic and report. The US and China have some of the highest-value tech companies on the planet, with many worth hundreds of billions of dollars, the ranking found.
