  2. Betrothed numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betrothed_numbers

    They are generalizations of the concepts of betrothed numbers and quasiperfect numbers. The first quasi-sociable sequences, or quasi-sociable chains, were discovered by Mitchell Dickerman in 1997: 1215571544 = 2^3*11*13813313; 1270824975 = 3^2*5^2*7*19*42467; 1467511664 = 2^4*19*599*8059; 1530808335 = 3^3*5*7*1619903; 1579407344 = 2^4*31^2*59*1741

    Second example: 87 x 11 = 957 because 8 + 7 = 15 so the 5 goes in between the 8 and the 7 and the 1 is carried to the 8. So it is basically 857 + 100 = 957. Or if 43 x 11 is equal to first 4+3=7 (For the tens digit) Then 4 is for the hundreds and 3 is for the tens. And the answer is 473.

  4. Trachtenberg system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachtenberg_system

    For the leading zero, subtract 1 from the neighbor. For rules 9, 8, 4, and 3 only the first digit is subtracted from 10. After that each digit is subtracted from nine instead. Example: 2,130 × 9 = 19,170 Working from right to left: (10 − 0) + 0 = 10. Write 0, carry 1. (9 − 3) + 0 + 1 (carried) = 7. Write 7. (9 − 1) + 3 = 11. Write 1 ...

  5. Fortunate number - Wikipedia

    For example, to find the seventh Fortunate number, one would first calculate the product of the first seven primes (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 and 17), which is 510510. Adding 2 to that gives another even number, while adding 3 would give another multiple of 3. One would similarly rule out the integers up to 18.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_abacus

    Mental calculation is said to improve mental capability, increases speed of response, memory power, and concentration power. Many veteran and prolific abacus users in China, Japan, South Korea, and others who use the abacus daily, naturally tend to not use the abacus any more, but perform calculations by visualizing the abacus.

  9. Sociable number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociable_number

    The period of the sequence, or order of the set of sociable numbers, is the number of numbers in this cycle. If the period of the sequence is 1, the number is a sociable number of order 1, or a perfect number—for example, the proper divisors of 6 are 1, 2, and 3, whose sum is again 6.
