  2. 42 (number) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_(number)

    42 is a pronic number, [1] an abundant number [2] as well as a highly abundant number, [3] a practical number, [4] an admirable number, [5] and a Catalan number. [6]The 42-sided tetracontadigon is the largest such regular polygon that can only tile a vertex alongside other regular polygons, without tiling the plane.

  3. Composite number - Wikipedia

    If none of its prime factors are repeated, it is called squarefree. (All prime numbers and 1 are squarefree.) For example, 72 = 2 3 × 3 2, all the prime factors are repeated, so 72 is a powerful number. 42 = 2 × 3 × 7, none of the prime factors are repeated, so 42 is squarefree.

  4. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

    Zeros between two significant non-zero digits are significant (significant trapped zeros). 101.12003 consists of eight significant figures if the resolution is to 0.00001. 125.340006 has seven significant figures if the resolution is to 0.0001: 1, 2, 5, 3, 4, 0, and 0. Zeros to the left of the first non-zero digit (leading zeros) are not ...

  5. Casting out nines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casting_out_nines

    The digit sum of 2946, for example is 2 + 9 + 4 + 6 = 21. Since 21 = 2946 − 325 × 9, the effect of taking the digit sum of 2946 is to "cast out" 325 lots of 9 from it. If the digit 9 is ignored when summing the digits, the effect is to "cast out" one more 9 to give the result 12.

  6. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    All of the significant digits remain, but the placeholding zeroes are no longer required. Thus 1 230 400 would become 1.2304 × 10 6 if it had five significant digits. If the number were known to six or seven significant figures, it would be shown as 1.230 40 × 10 6 or 1.230 400 × 10 6. Thus, an additional advantage of scientific notation is ...

  7. Square number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_number

    Since a prime number has factors of only 1 and itself, and since m = 2 is the only non-zero value of m to give a factor of 1 on the right side of the equation above, it follows that 3 is the only prime number one less than a square (3 = 2 2 − 1). More generally, the difference of the squares of two numbers is the product of their sum and ...

  8. 39 (number) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/39_(number)

    Japanese wordplay and slang: . Internet chat slang for "Thank You" when written with numbers: 3 (三, san) and 9 (九, kyū). [7]39 has been associated with the virtual singer Hatsune Miku because the written form of "Mi" (ミ) and the phonic pronunciation of "ku" (ク) have similarity to the numbers 3 (三, san) and 9 (九, kyū).

  9. Integer factorization records - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization_records

    Integer factorization is the process of determining which prime numbers divide a given positive integer.Doing this quickly has applications in cryptography.The difficulty depends on both the size and form of the number and its prime factors; it is currently very difficult to factorize large semiprimes (and, indeed, most numbers that have no small factors).
