  2. Waring's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waring's_problem

    G(3) is at least 4 (since cubes are congruent to 0, 1 or −1 mod 9); for numbers less than 1.3 × 10 9, 1 290 740 is the last to require 6 cubes, and the number of numbers between N and 2N requiring 5 cubes drops off with increasing N at sufficient speed to have people believe that G(3) = 4; [21] the largest number now known not to be a sum of ...

  3. Polite number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polite_number

    In number theory, a polite number is a positive integer that can be written as the sum of two or more consecutive positive integers. A positive integer which is not polite is called impolite . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The impolite numbers are exactly the powers of two , and the polite numbers are the natural numbers that are not powers of two.

  5. Sum of four cubes problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_four_cubes_problem

    The sum of four cubes problem [1] asks whether every integer is the sum of four cubes of integers. It is conjectured the answer is affirmative, but this conjecture has been neither proven nor disproven. [2] Some of the cubes may be negative numbers, in contrast to Waring's problem on sums of cubes, where they are required to be positive.

  6. List of sums of reciprocals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sums_of_reciprocals

    The sum of the reciprocals of the powerful numbers is close to 1.9436 . [4] The reciprocals of the factorials sum to the transcendental number e (one of two constants called "Euler's number"). The sum of the reciprocals of the square numbers (the Basel problem) is the transcendental number ⁠ π 2 / 6 ⁠, or ζ(2) where ζ is the Riemann zeta ...

  7. Harshad number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harshad_number

    The number 19 is not a harshad number in base 10, because the sum of the digits 1 and 9 is 10, and 19 is not divisible by 10. In base 10, every natural number expressible in the form 9R n a n, where the number R n consists of n copies of the single digit 1, n > 0, and a n is a positive integer less than 10 n and multiple of n, is a harshad ...

  8. Sum of two squares theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_two_squares_theorem

    Therefore, the theorem states that it is expressible as the sum of two squares. Indeed, 2450 = 7 2 + 49 2. The prime decomposition of the number 3430 is 2 · 5 · 7 3. This time, the exponent of 7 in the decomposition is 3, an odd number. So 3430 cannot be written as the sum of two squares.
