Another class of numbers Kaprekar described are Kaprekar numbers. [10] A Kaprekar number is a positive integer with the property that if it is squared, then its representation can be partitioned into two positive integer parts whose sum is equal to the original number (e.g. 45, since 45 2 =2025, and 20+25=45, also 9, 55, 99 etc.)
Since f is of degree d with integer coefficients, if a and b are integers, then so will be b d ·f(a/b), which we call r. Similarly, s = b e ·g(a/b) is an integer. The goal is to find integer values of a and b that simultaneously make r and s smooth relative to the chosen basis of primes.
In number theory, a self number or Devlali number in a given number base is a natural number that cannot be written as the sum of any other natural number and the individual digits of . 20 is a self number (in base 10), because no such combination can be found (all < give a result less than 20; all other give a result greater than 20). 21 is not, because it can be written as 15 + 1 + 5 using n ...
In number theory, Kaprekar's routine is an iterative algorithm named after its inventor, Indian mathematician D. R. Kaprekar. [1] [2] Each iteration starts with a number, sorts the digits into descending and ascending order, and calculates the difference between the two new numbers.
Arithmetic is an elementary branch of mathematics that studies numerical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In a wider sense, it also includes exponentiation , extraction of roots , and taking logarithms .
In mathematics, a self-descriptive number is an integer m in a given base b that is b digits long, and each digit d at position n (the most significant digit being at position 0 and the least significant at position b−1) counts how many instances of digit n are in m.
The number of elements in the class group is called the class number of K. The class number of Q(√-5) is 2. This means that there are only two ideal classes, the class of principal fractional ideals, and the class of a non-principal fractional ideal such as (2, 1 + √-5). The ideal class group has another description in terms of divisors ...
Number theory is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers and arithmetic functions.German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855) said, "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences—and number theory is the queen of mathematics."
