  2. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    It is divisible by 2 and by 13. [6] 156: it is divisible by 2 and by 13. Subtracting 5 times the last digit from 2 times the rest of the number gives a multiple of 26. (Works because 52 is divisible by 26.) 1,248 : (124 × 2) − (8 × 5) = 208 = 26 × 8. 27: Sum the digits in blocks of three from right to left. (Works because 999 is divisible ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_factorial

    These are counted by the double factorial 15 = (6 − 1)‼. In mathematics , the double factorial of a number n , denoted by n ‼ , is the product of all the positive integers up to n that have the same parity (odd or even) as n . [ 1 ]

  4. Summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation

    The summation of an explicit sequence is denoted as a succession of additions. For example, summation of [1, 2, 4, 2] is denoted 1 + 2 + 4 + 2, and results in 9, that is, 1 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 9. Because addition is associative and commutative, there is no need for parentheses, and the result is the same irrespective of the order of the summands ...

  5. Multiple (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    This is because there are integers that 7 may be multiplied by to reach the values of 14, 49, 0 and −21, while there are no such integers for 3 and −6. Each of the products listed below, and in particular, the products for 3 and −6, is the only way that the relevant number can be written as a product of 7 and another real number:

  6. 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; [22] the largest number now known not to be a sum of ...

  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 ...

    Goldbach's conjecture: every even natural number greater than is the sum of two prime numbers. Lander, Parkin, and Selfridge conjecture : if the sum of m {\displaystyle m} k {\displaystyle k} -th powers of positive integers is equal to a different sum of n {\displaystyle n} k {\displaystyle k} -th powers of positive integers, then m + n ≥ k ...

    For example, 6 + 7 = 13 can be derived from 5 + 7 = 12 by adding one more. [36] Making ten: An advanced strategy uses 10 as an intermediate for sums involving 8 or 9; for example, 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14. [36] As students grow older, they commit more facts to memory, and learn to derive other facts rapidly and fluently.
