  2. 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.

  3. 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 ...

    A number that has the same number of digits as the number of digits in its prime factorization, including exponents but excluding exponents equal to 1. A046758 Extravagant numbers

  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. Harshad number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harshad_number

    The number 18 is a harshad number in base 10, because the sum of the digits 1 and 8 is 9, and 18 is divisible by 9.; The Hardy–Ramanujan number (1729) is a harshad number in base 10, since it is divisible by 19, the sum of its digits (1729 = 19 × 91).

  7. 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 ...

  8. Integer partition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_partition

    8; 7 + 1; 6 + 2; 5 + 3; 5 + 2 + 1; 4 + 3 + 1; This is a general property. For each positive number, the number of partitions with odd parts equals the number of partitions with distinct parts, denoted by q(n). [8] [9] This result was proved by Leonhard Euler in 1748 [10] and later was generalized as Glaisher's theorem.

  9. Zeckendorf's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeckendorf's_theorem

    where F n is the n th Fibonacci number. Such a sum is called the Zeckendorf representation of N. The Fibonacci coding of N can be derived from its Zeckendorf representation. For example, the Zeckendorf representation of 64 is 64 = 55 + 8 + 1. There are other ways of representing 64 as the sum of Fibonacci numbers 64 = 55 + 5 + 3 + 1 64 = 34 ...
