  2. Goldbach's conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach's_conjecture

    It states that every even natural number greater than 2 is the sum of two prime numbers. The conjecture has been shown to hold for all integers less than 4 × 10 18 but remains unproven despite considerable effort.

  4. Summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation

    In mathematics, summation is the addition of a sequence of numbers, called addends or summands; the result is their sum or total.Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any type of mathematical objects on which an operation denoted "+" is defined.

  5. Natural number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_number

    A natural number can be used to express the size of a finite set; more precisely, a cardinal number is a measure for the size of a set, which is even suitable for infinite sets. The numbering of cardinals usually begins at zero, to accommodate the empty set ∅ {\displaystyle \emptyset } .

  6. Digital sum in base b - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_sum_in_base_b

    011 (3) 100 (4) 101 (5) --- 010 (2) is the binary digital sum of 3, 4 and 5. The binary digital sum is crucial for the theory of the game of Nim. The digital sum in base b is an associative and commutative operation on the natural numbers; it has 0 as neutral element and every natural number has an inverse element under this operation

  7. Chen's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chen's_theorem

    There exists a natural number N such that every even integer n larger than N is a sum of a prime less than or equal to n 0.95 and a number with at most two prime factors. Tomohiro Yamada claimed a proof of the following explicit version of Chen's theorem in 2015: [ 7 ]

    A list of articles about numbers (not about numerals). Topics include powers of ten, notable integers, prime and cardinal numbers, and the myriad system.

  9. List of sums of reciprocals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sums_of_reciprocals

    The sum of the reciprocals of the Proth primes, of which there may be finitely many or infinitely many, is known to be finite, approximately 0.747392479. [2] The prime quadruplets are pairs of twin primes with only one odd number between them. The sum of the reciprocals of the numbers in prime quadruplets is approximately 0.8706.
