  • This video is part of the MegaFavNumbers project. Maths RUclipsrs have come together to make videos about their favourite numbers bigger than one million, which we are calling #MegaFavNumbers.
    We want *you*, the viewers, to join in! Make your own video about your favourite mega-number. You can think of a cool big number, or think of a cool topic first and hang a mega-number on it.
    Upload your videos to RUclips with the hashtag #MegaFavNumbers and with MegaFavNumbers in the title, and your video will be added to the megafavnumbers playlist.
    Submit your videos anytime before Wednesday 2nd September to be added to the MegaFavNumbers playlist!

    Remember, a test for divisibility by 9 is to add all the digits of the number together, and to do the same with the result, until you get a single digit. If the end result is 9 then the original number was a multiple of 9.
    Here is a list of even amicable numbers whose sum is not divisible by 9 oeis.org/A291550

    My favorite number is 8. Though it doesn't seem to have any special significance in Maths, there are two ways that it encompasses even the biggest mega numbers:
    1. Turning the number on its side reveals the symbol for infinity, which as a concept would encompass every number in existence.
    2. Thanks to digital clock patterns, we can see that 8 contains every single-digit number in the decimal list, which means that 888,888,888 would encompass your favorite meganumber pairing.
    3. As a bonus, reversing #2 has been proven through magic tricks to be a useful way to mask a number's value. Simply draw the lines not pertaining to that number and it takes people a while to figure out what you wrote.

    @mikc3305 3 года назад +1

    Definitively out of my element here. Reading just a few comments. I look for a pattern that makes sense as learning is somewhat relational. Sometimes a pair of amicable numbers fail to rise from a multiple of nine. This anomaly presents itself as a fluke yet, its universally accepted letting one freaking number get away with abandonment? A true and good bridge lets patterns follow. Instead of, a disintegrating track midway. Still, miraculously, Locomotive #9 flies over virtual tracks of contradiction, camouflaging a pattern without form as invisible to imagination. A fare paid with discrimination isn't fair when acceptance incarcerates inner vision. How'd you get your favorite paired numbers? Something you had arrived at or willed to you by a smart person? Cool, thanks.

    A number fails to resist the confrontation of an aggressive divider and dissolves into two equal smaller ones, and an attempt to gather every successful divider together and list them out is then being carried out. The transformation process from a number to a list of "more capable numbers" seems to end, but because of some unknown initiatives and with some unknown purposes, the dividers are being "merged in" to form one new number, eroding their independent state. The formed number seems to be able to compensate for the initial need of the person to withhold one number for a certain goal. The whole process can end right there, but by some reasons, the same "dissolving effort" is then being applied to the newly agglomerated number, perhaps wondering of how it would dissolve into and what the dissolved number list can agglomerate into again at the end. It is surprising to find out that the effort leads back to the original starting number, and what seems to be continuous ongoing processes of deminishing values and process progressing far away from the initial starting point actually brings the numbers back to the starting point. After the capability to return, the dividing purpose and effort can carry on to be made without fearing of deminishing of numbers or defying from the original starting position. And the return is done without additional help from efforts "out of the system".

    I don't know UK's social security number sequence, but I do know that 3 groups of 3 numbers (starting with 6) is how Canada organizes their personal social security numbers.
    Though I believe it could not be as the numbers are somewhat sequential, I think it would be super cute if your favorite number paring happened to be the social insurance numbers of an actual couple.

    • @X22GJP
      @X22GJP 3 года назад

      UK doesn't use Social Security numbers. We use National Insurance numbers. The format of the number is two prefix letters, six digits and one suffix letter. An example is AB123456C. Neither of the first two letters can be D, F, I, Q, U or V. The second letter also cannot be O. The prefixes BG, GB, NK, KN, TN, NT and ZZ are not allocated.

    The linked paper starts:
    "An amicable number pair is a pair of numbers, M, N, satisfying σ(M) = M + N = σ(N)"
    That definition seems completely different from the one in Wikipedia (which is the same as what James said in the video).

    • @christopherking6129
      @christopherking6129 3 года назад

      I think that's equivalent. sigma is all the divisors, not just the proper ones.

    • @christianbarnay2499
      @christianbarnay2499 3 года назад

      σ(N) is the sum of all divisors, including N.
      Let s(N) be the sum of proper divisors of N.
      σ(N) = s(N) + N.
      So σ(N) = M + N is the same as s(N) = M.
      Both definitions are equivalent.

    Question: Could this question of finding amicable numbers be a solution to P = NP (similar to that of the traveling salesmen)?
    It's relatively easy to check whether a set of numbers is amicable numbers, but it could be challenging to find new amicable numbers, of course then you'd have to ask whether it's then easy to check if you have *all* of the amicable numbers, but say your goal was just to find a new one would that even work to satisfy P = NP even if it was true?
