Dedication I thank God for this book without whose wish nothing is ever possible. (Dedicated to my parents and my wife) FOREWORD It was in the year of Our Lord Nineteen Ninety that I was browsing through the previous years ISC (Indian School Certificate) Computer Science question papers and I came across questions related to Fibonacci series, Armstrong Numbers, etc. and from then on numbers have simply fascinated me. Actually we find numbers at several places, including nature. At a personal level, I feel that it may not be an exaggeration to say that life is a game of numbers. Our life is measured in age which is a number. Our success is measured by our position in the organizational hierarchy and/or society, which is again a number. Elections are a game of numbers. My experience tells me that normally people want to be at position number one. And, here we have a book devoted to numbers. Constructive criticism of the book is solicited. I have been thinking of writing a book for the past twenty-four years and although I have carried out rigorous testing and then compiled the information in the form of this book, yet there are chances that some error(s) might have crept in due to oversight or calculation mistakes or limited Foreword understanding. Therefore, I make no claim to authenticity of the material being presented in this book. The book is divided into three parts. Part A dwells on few interesting properties of few amazing numbers. Part B contains some interesting questions and Part C dwells on concepts such as Magic square, e, Pythagorean triplets, The Towers of Hanoi, etc. VIII ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I want to place on record my sincere gratitude towards: Rt.

A study of numbers can unravel many interesting facts. This book tends to explore the enigma of a few interesting numbers. I. The fractions 1/27 and 1/37 can be considered friends, because: 1/27 = .037037037... 1/37 = .027027027... The integers 27 and 37 have a unique property. For instance, if we want to determine whether 1483967893 is divisible by 27? Then starting from the unit’s place make groups of three digits. The groups will be 893, 967, 483 and 1. Now add the four groups 1 + 483 + 967 + 893. The sum obtained is 2344. On dividing this sum (2344) by 27 the remainder obtained is 22. This will also be the remainder when 1483967893 is divided by 27. The Unfathomable World of Amazing Numbers Similarly, if we want to determine whether 1483967893 is divisible by 37? Then starting from the unit’s place make groups of three digits.

Asymptotic formulae compa- rable to the prime number theorem are derived for arbitrary length sequences.

AMS Classification: 11A41. 1 Introduction We build up the sequences of primes using a variant of the sieve process devised by Eratosthenes. In the sieve process the integers are written down sequentially up to the largest number we wish to check for primality. We first remove from consideration every number of the form 2n (n≥2), find the smallest number >2 that was not removed, that is 3 (the next prime), and similarly now remove all numbers of the form 3n (n≥2). As before find again the next number not removed, that is the next prime 5. The process is continued up to a desired prime Pr.

  • Number 73 Is the 37Th Odd Number

    Number 73 Is the 37Th Odd Number

    73 Seventy-Three LXXIII i ii iii iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiii iiiiiiii iiiiiii iiiiiiii iiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii iii ii i Analogous ordinal: seventy-third. The number 73 is the 37th odd number. Note the reversal here. The number 73 is the twenty-first prime number. The number 73 is the fifty-sixth deficient number. The number 73 is in the eighth twin-prime pair 71, 73. This is the last of the twin primes less than 100. No one knows if the list of twin primes ever ends. As a sum of four or fewer squares: 73 = 32 + 82 = 12 + 62 + 62 = 12 + 22 + 22 + 82 = 22 + 22 + 42 + 72 = 42 + 42 + 42 + 52. As a sum of nine or fewer cubes: 73 = 3 13 + 2 23 + 2 33 = 13 + 23 + 43. · · · As a difference of two squares: 73 = 372 362. The number 73 appears in two Pythagorean triples: [48, 55, 73] and [73, 2664, 2665]. Both are primitive, of course. As a sum of three odd primes: 73 = 3 + 3 + 67 = 3 + 11 + 59 = 3 + 17 + 53 = 3 + 23 + 47 = 3 + 29 + 41 = 5 + 7 + 61 = 5 + 31 + 37 = 7 + 7 + 59 = 7 + 13 + 53 = 7 + 19 + 47 = 7 + 23 + 43 = 7 + 29 + 37 = 11 + 19 + 43 = 11 + 31 + 31 = 13 + 13 + 47 = 13 + 17 + 43 = 13 + 19 + 41 = 13 + 23 + 37 = 13 + 29 + 31 = 17 + 19 + 37 = 19 + 23 + 31. The number 73 is the 21st prime number. It’s reversal, 37, is the 12th prime number. Notice that if you strip off the six triangular points from the 73-circle hexagram pictured above, you are left with a hexagon of 37 circles.

EAN: 9781599734668 ISBN: 978-1-59973-466-8 1 INTRODUCTION The definition of “concatenation” in mathematics is, according to Wikipedia, “the joining of two numbers by their numerals. That is, the concatenation of 69 and 420 is 69420”. Though the method of concatenation is widely considered as a part of so called “recreational mathematics”, in fact this method can often lead to very “serious” results, and even more than that, to really amazing results. This is the purpose of this book: to show that this method, unfairly neglected, can be a powerful tool in number theory. In particular, as revealed by the title, I used the method of concatenation in this book to obtain possible infinite sequences of primes. Part One of this book, “Primes in Smarandache concatenated sequences and Smarandache-Coman sequences”, contains 12 papers on various sequences of primes that are distinguished among the terms of the well known Smarandache concatenated sequences (as, for instance, the prime terms in Smarandache concatenated odd
  • Wieferich Primes and Period Lengths for the Expansions of Fractions

    Wieferich Primes and Period Lengths for the Expansions of Fractions

    314 MATHEMATICSMAGAZINE Wieferich Primesand PeriodLengths for the Expansionsof Fractions GENE GARZA JEFF YOUNG University of Montevallo Montevallo, Al 35115 [email protected] It is well known that some decimal expansions terminate, while others repeat, at least eventually, in patterns,which may be short or lengthy (we shall call this repeating pattern the period of the expansion). Here we will extend some known results while exploring expansions of fractions in any base. Our goal will be to find a formula for the length of the period of such expansions. The interested reader is referred to the recent award-winning article by Jones and Pearce, who show how to display such decimal expansions graphically [3]. We will consider both the expansions of (the reciprocals of) primes and of com- posites. It would seem that the easier part of this problem would be that of primes. However, there are difficulties/anomalies among primes that make it hard to find a for- mula that works in all cases. The most interesting such case is that of Wieferich primes, whose reciprocals are characterizedby expansions whose periods are the same length as the periods of their squares. For example, the length of the period of 1/1093 is 1092 which is the same as that of 1/10932. This, as we shall see, is not normally the case. For someone seeking a simple formula, this is bad news. However, as our table at the end shows, Wieferich primes are quite rare. Preliminaries Let's review what is meant by the expansion of a fraction and, in particular,the decimal expansion of a fraction.
  • On Hardy's Apology Numbers

    On Hardy's Apology Numbers

    ON HARDY’S APOLOGY NUMBERS HENK KOPPELAAR AND PEYMAN NASEHPOUR Abstract. Twelve well known ‘Recreational’ numbers are generalized and classified in three generalized types Hardy, Dudeney, and Wells. A novel proof method to limit the search for the numbers is exemplified for each of the types. Combinatorial operators are defined to ease programming the search. 0. Introduction “Recreational Mathematics” is a broad term that covers many different areas including games, puzzles, magic, art, and more [31]. Some may have the impres- sion that topics discussed in recreational mathematics in general and recreational number theory, in particular, are only for entertainment and may not have an ap- plication in mathematics, engineering, or science. As for the mathematics, even the simplest operation in this paper, i.e. the sum of digits function, has application outside number theory in the domain of combinatorics [13, 26, 27, 28, 34] and in a seemingly unrelated mathematical knowledge domain: topology [21, 23, 15]. Pa- pers about generalizations of the sum of digits function are discussed by Stolarsky [38]. It also is a surprise to see that another topic of this paper, i.e. Armstrong numbers, has applications in “data security” [16]. In number theory, functions are usually non-continuous. This inhibits solving equations, for instance, by application of the contraction mapping principle because the latter is normally for continuous functions. Based on this argument, questions about solving number-theoretic equations ramify to the following: (1) Are there any solutions to an equation? (2) If there are any solutions to an equation, then are finitely many solutions? (3) Can all solutions be found in theory? (4) Can one in practice compute a full list of solutions? arXiv:2008.08187v1 [math.NT] 18 Aug 2020 The main purpose of this paper is to investigate these constructive (or algorith- mic) problems by the fixed points of some special functions of the form f : N N.

    Elementary Proof That an Infinite Number of Cullen Primes Exist

    Elementary Proof that an Infinite Number of Cullen Primes Exist Stephen Marshall 21 February 2017 Abstract This paper presents a complete proof of the Cullen Primes are infinite, even though only 16 of them have been found as of 21 Feb 2017. We use a proof found in Reference 1, that if p > 1 and d > 0 are integers, that p and p+ d are both primes if and only if for integer m: m = (p-1)!( + ) + + We use this proof for d = to prove the infinitude of Cullen prime numbers. The author would like to give many thanks to the authors of 1001 Problems in Classical Number Theory, Jean-Marie De Koninck and Armel Mercier, 2004, Exercise Number 161 (see Reference 1). The proof provided in Exercise 6 is the key to making this paper on the Cullen Prime Conjecture possible. Introduction James Cullen, (19 April 1867 – 7 December 1933) was born at Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland. At first he was educated privately, then he studied pure and applied mathematics at the Trinity College, Dublin for a while, he went to 1 Mungret College, Limerick, before deciding to become a Jesuit, studying in England in Mansera House, and St. Mary's, and was ordained as a priest on 31 July 1901. In 1905, he taught mathematics at Mount St. Mary's College in Derbyshire and published his finding of what is now known as Cullen numbers in number theory. In number theory of prime numbers, a Cullen number is a natural number of the form n Cn = n2 + 1 Cullen numbers were first studied by James Cullen in 1905.

    X22a CFHT Megaprime U-Band Source Catalog of the AKARI North Ecliptic Pole Field

    2020 Autumn Annual Meeting, Astronomical Society of Japan X22a CFHT Megaprime u-band Source Catalog of the AKARI North Ecliptic Pole Field Ting-Chi Huang (SOKENDAI, ISAS/JAXA), Hideo Matsuhara (SOKENDAI, ISAS/JAXA), To- motsugu Goto (NTHU), Tetsuya Hashimoto (NTHU), Seong-Jin Kim (NTHU), Nagisa Oi (TUS), Hyunjin Shim (KNU), Ho Seong Hwang (KASI), Yoshiki Toba (Kyoto Univ.), Daryl Joe D. Santos (NTHU), and Toshinobu Takagi (JSF) AKARI infrared (IR) space telescope carried out a survey in the North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) field using its Infrared Camera (IRC), and detected more than 100,000 IR sources. AKARI IRC’s 9 filters continuously cover the wavelength from near- to mid-IR, making AKARI unique in comparison with other IR space telescopes like Spitzer or WISE. However, the research in the AKARI NEP field was limited due to the lack of sufficient optical and ultraviolet (UV) observations. Recently, we have performed an observation in the AKARI NEP field using Subaru HSC, and obtained deep optical images. Now we further provide the near-UV (u band) catalog from Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) Megaprime to assist the precious AKARI data. The observation was conducted in 7 nights under the Queued Service Observations mode in 2015 and 2016, and covered a 3.6-deg2 area. The data were processed by the Elixir pipeline, and the mosaic image was created by the AstrOmatic software. Compared with previous work, this work not only extends the area coverage to the whole AKARI NEP field, but also reaches a deeper imaging, which is a significant improvement for us to estimate photometric redshifts of galaxies or study stellar populations..
