When 111 111 111 is multiplied by 111 111 111 it is equal to 12345678 9 87654321

You can remember the value of PI (3.1415926) by counting each word’s letters in “May I have a large container of coffee?”

21978 when multiplied by 4 is the same number with digits in reverse order... 21978 x 4 = 87912 If you add up numbers 1-1000 consecutively (1+2+3+4+5…) the total is 5050.

From 0 to 1000, the letter “A” only appears in 1000 (“one thousand”).

The billionth digit/number of Pi is 9.

The digits to the right of the Pi’s (3.141…) decimal point can keep going forever, and there is no pattern to these digits at all.

The largest known prime number (so far) is 12,978,189 digits long.

40 when written “forty” is the only number with letters in alphabetical order, while “one” is the only one with letters in reverse order.

The Fibonacci sequences are numbers where each following number is the sum of the previous two:
0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 …

A Palindrome Number is a number that reads the same backwards and forward, e.g. 13431

142857 is a cyclic number, i.e., it’s digits are rotated around when multiplied by any number from 1 – 6.
142857 x 1 = 142857
142857 x 5 = 7 14285
142857 x 4 = 57 1428
142857 x 6 = 857 142
142857 x 2 = 2857 14
142857 x 3 = 42857 1

If each count were a second long, it would take about 12 days to count to a million and about 32 years to count to a billion.

Multiply your age by 7 now multiply that product by 1443. What do you get? Your age repeats 3 times.

The mathematical name for the division sign is called OBELUS.

Did you know that Giga stands for a Billion?

Googol is the term used for the number followed by 100 zeros and was first used by a nine-year old, Milton Sirottain

    The second numbering system that computers use is binary systems. Unlike the decimal system, there are only two numbers used in binary systems. One of these numbers is zero that represents false and off in computer, math, and measurement. The other number in the binary system is one that represents true and on for computer math. Binary numbers are sometimes referred to as base 2.…

    The general design of the experiment was to use method of loci and a controlled group. As well to measure the rate of forgetting, using recall memory tasks after 1 week. They were given instructions in their group. The experiment is a replicating of Lowell D. Groninger’s Mnemonic imagery and forgetting. The original experiment took place in the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Baltimore, Md. 21228. One group was given a 25-word list of high-imagery words to learn using a mnemonic imagery technique (the method of loci). They were then compared to a control group who learned the words by grouping them. Everybody had to remember the words in the right order. The learning time and…

    That is why the Mayan called this calendar named the universal cycle because they calculated each cycle by the solar years. “Each such cycle is calculated to be 2,880,000 days about 7885 solar years” (Aveni). In fact, the Mayan believed that the universe destroys when is recreated at the start of each universal cycle. Also, the Long Count calendar identifies a day by counting the number of days because of the mythical creation date corresponds to 3114 BCE in the Gregorian calendar. Later on, the Long Count calendar was widely used on monuments and was modified in base of 20 scheme. For example, the base 20 scheme if Mayan wanted to equal twenty-five they would write 0.0.0.15 and it meant equal twenty-five. So, for if they wanted to know more numbers they would use this method. Thus 0.0.1.0.0 does not represent four hundred days, but rather only 360 days. Mayan helped had a lunar data…

    The Fibonacci Sequence

    The Fibonacci sequence is the series of numbers, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89… When squares are made with the widths, you get a nice spiral. If you look closely at the center of a daisy, you will find that the yellow center is not solid. It is made up of sets of spirals that go out from the center. Mathematics is found in nature all the time. If you look at the bottom of a pinecone you will see that it has those same kinds of spirals. They don’t go around and around in a circle they go outward in the same sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89……
