  2. Mental calculation - Wikipedia

    For example: 24 x 11 = 264 because 2 + 4 = 6 and the 6 is placed in between the 2 and the 4. 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.

  3. Senary - Wikipedia

    Additionally, since the smallest four primes (2, 3, 5, 7) are either divisors or neighbors of 6, senary has simple divisibility tests for many numbers. Furthermore, all even perfect numbers besides 6 have 44 as the final two digits when expressed in senary, which is proven by the fact that every even perfect number is of the form 2 p – 1 (2 p ...

    1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 2, 6, 4, 6, 4, ... φ(n) is the number of positive integers not greater than n that are coprime with n. A000010: Lucas numbers L(n) 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, ... L(n) = L(n − 1) + L(n − 2) for n ≥ 2, with L(0) = 2 and L(1) = 1. A000032: Prime numbers p n: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, ... The prime numbers p ...

  5. Farey sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farey_sequence

    Thus the first term to appear between ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ and ⁠ 2 / 5 ⁠ is ⁠ 3 / 8 ⁠, which appears in F 8. The total number of Farey neighbour pairs in F n is 2| F n | − 3. The Stern–Brocot tree is a data structure showing how the sequence is built up from 0 (= ⁠ 0 / 1 ⁠) and 1 (= ⁠ 1 / 1 ⁠), by taking successive mediants.

    1.435 m – standard gauge of railway track used by about 60% of railways in the world = 4 ft 8 1 ⁄ 2 in; 2.5 m – distance from the floor to the ceiling in an average residential house [118] 2.7 m – length of the Starr Bumble Bee II, the smallest plane; 2.77–3.44 m – wavelength of the broadcast radio FM band 87–108 MHz

  7. Multiplication table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_table

    Figure 2 is used for the multiples of 2, 4, 6, and 8. These patterns can be used to memorize the multiples of any number from 0 to 10, except 5. As you would start on the number you are multiplying, when you multiply by 0, you stay on 0 (0 is external and so the arrows have no effect on 0, otherwise 0 is used as a link to create a perpetual cycle).

  8. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    For instance, the first counterexample must be odd because f(2n) = n, smaller than 2n; and it must be 3 mod 4 because f 2 (4n + 1) = 3n + 1, smaller than 4n + 1. For each starting value a which is not a counterexample to the Collatz conjecture, there is a k for which such an inequality holds, so checking the Collatz conjecture for one starting ...

    This sequence of approximations begins ⁠ 1 / 1 ⁠, ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠, ⁠ 7 / 5 ⁠, ⁠ 17 / 12 ⁠, and ⁠ 41 / 29 ⁠, so the sequence of Pell numbers begins with 1, 2, 5, 12, and 29. The numerators of the same sequence of approximations are half the companion Pell numbers or Pell–Lucas numbers ; these numbers form a second infinite ...
