The additive persistence of a number is smaller than or equal to the number itself, with equality only when the number is zero. For base b {\displaystyle b} and natural numbers k {\displaystyle k} and n > 9 {\displaystyle n>9} the numbers n {\displaystyle n} and n ⋅ b k {\displaystyle n\cdot b^{k}} have the same additive persistence.
In prime factorization, the multiplicity of a prime factor is its -adic valuation.For example, the prime factorization of the integer 60 is . 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5, the multiplicity of the prime factor 2 is 2, while the multiplicity of each of the prime factors 3 and 5 is 1.
Although nobody has ever found a value of for which () > (), Skewes's research supervisor J.E. Littlewood had proved in Littlewood (1914) that there is such a number (and so, a first such number); and indeed found that the sign of the difference () changes infinitely many times.
The concept of multiplicity is fundamental for Bézout's theorem, as it allows having an equality instead of a much weaker inequality. Intuitively, the multiplicity of a common zero of several polynomials is the number of zeros into which the common zero can split when the coefficients are slightly changed.
The fundamental theorem of algebra shows that any non-zero polynomial has a number of roots at most equal to its degree, and that the number of roots and the degree are equal when one considers the complex roots (or more generally, the roots in an algebraically closed extension) counted with their multiplicities.
