    [0; 4, 4, 8, 16, 18, 5, 1, 1, 1, 1, 7, 1, 1, 6, 2, 9, 58, 1, 3, 4, …] [OEIS 100] Computed up to 1 011 597 392 terms by E. Weisstein. He also noted that while the Champernowne constant continued fraction contains sporadic large terms, the continued fraction of the Copeland–Erdős Constant do not exhibit this property. [Mw 85]

  4. Fourth power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power

    Every positive integer can be expressed as the sum of at most 19 fourth powers; every integer larger than 13792 can be expressed as the sum of at most 16 fourth powers (see Waring's problem). Fermat knew that a fourth power cannot be the sum of two other fourth powers (the n = 4 case of Fermat's Last Theorem; see Fermat's right triangle theorem).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_approximation

    The binomial approximation for the square root, + + /, can be applied for the following expression, + where and are real but .. The mathematical form for the binomial approximation can be recovered by factoring out the large term and recalling that a square root is the same as a power of one half.

  6. Power of 10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_10

    Where a power of ten has different names in the two conventions, the long scale name is shown in parentheses. The positive 10 power related to a short scale name can be determined based on its Latin name-prefix using the following formula: 10 [(prefix-number + 1) × 3] Examples: billion = 10 [(2 + 1) × 3] = 10 9; octillion = 10 [(8 + 1) × 3 ...

    and (3 3) 2, respectively) In arithmetic and algebra the sixth power of a number n is the result of multiplying six instances of n together. So: n 6 = n × n × n × n × n × n. Sixth powers can be formed by multiplying a number by its fifth power, multiplying the square of a number by its fourth power, by cubing a square, or by squaring a cube.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisot–Vijayaraghavan_number

    The first polynomial is divisible by x 2 − 1 when n is odd and by x − 1 when n is even. It has one other real zero, which is a PV number. Dividing either polynomial by x n gives expressions that approach x 2 − x − 1 as n grows very large and have zeros that converge to φ. A complementary pair of polynomials,
