Numberphile is an educational YouTube channel featuring videos that explore topics from a variety of fields of mathematics. [2] [3] In the early days of the channel, each video focused on a specific number, but the channel has since expanded its scope, [4] featuring videos on more advanced mathematical concepts such as Fermat's Last Theorem, the Riemann hypothesis [5] and Kruskal's tree ...
In a vigesimal place system, twenty individual numerals (or digit symbols) are used, ten more than in the decimal system. One modern method of finding the extra needed symbols is to write ten as the letter A, or A 20, where the 20 means base 20, to write nineteen as J 20, and the numbers between with the corresponding letters of the alphabet.
The original version of 24 is played with an ordinary deck of playing cards with all the face cards removed. The aces are taken to have the value 1 and the basic game proceeds by having 4 cards dealt and the first player that can achieve the number 24 exactly using only allowed operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and parentheses) wins the hand.
Upon reaching 20 2 or 400, another row is started (20 3 or 8000, then 20 4 or 160,000, and so on). The number 429 would be written as one dot above one dot above four dots and a bar, or (1×20 2 ) + (1×20 1 ) + 9 = 429.

(red) fits into the next two digits once (if rotated), so the next digit in the quotient is a rotated one (that is, a five). (blue) The last two digits are matched once for ...
Sociable numbers are the numbers in cyclic lists of numbers (with a length greater than 2) where each number is the sum of the proper divisors of the preceding number. For example, 1264460 ↦ 1547860 ↦ 1727636 ↦ 1305184 ↦ 1264460 ↦ … {\displaystyle 1264460\mapsto 1547860\mapsto 1727636\mapsto 1305184\mapsto 1264460\mapsto \dots } are ...
In a typical 6/49 game, each player chooses six distinct numbers from a range of 1–49. If the six numbers on a ticket match the numbers drawn by the lottery, the ticket holder is a jackpot winner—regardless of the order of the numbers. The probability of this happening is 1 in 13,983,816. The chance of winning can be demonstrated as
Multiples are also very important in the numerical system for example the number 60 is ọgọ́ta which literally means three twenties (ogún = 20, ẹ̀ta = 3). Up to 30, Yoruba has distinct forms of the numerals for counting objects, which derive from counting cowries .
