Any math trivias concerning decimal, fraction, percentage or even commission?
Q. I really need some. Trivias about math and not just any trivia. I need ones that could either be about decimal, fraction, precentage or commission. It can be any of those 4. Example of a trivia I like is this : When is a billion called a billion? That one is quite challenging. I want trivias like that. If you can't find a challenging one, any ordinary trivia will do as long as it is about either of the 4.

A. I know this question as: When is a billion NOT called a billion? Answer: In Europe, where a billion is 10^12 and 10^9 is called 1000 million or milliard (in France). 1) Which fraction is the number 0.0123456789... ? 2) Proof that all natural numbers are important 3) A natural number is doubled when added to its reciprocal. Find that number! You can find a lot here as well: Solutions: 1) 1/81 2) Suppose there are numbers that are unimportant. Let n be the first such number. That makes n important! Contradiction. 3) 1

A. but The term 'GOOGOL' was coined by the child of a university math professor. It seems the prof. was using a blackboard in his home to do some calculations. On the board was the #1 followed by a hundred zeroes, upon seeing this, the child commented 'daddy, that looks like a googol'. The largest whole number I believe, unless you include a googolplex, which is a googol to the tenth power. It seems the child who coined the word, which is the # 1 followed by 100 zeroes, was Milton Sirrota the 9yr. old nephew (at the time,1938) of Amer. Mathematician, Edward Kasner, who died in 1955.

A. Here's some info about Ibn al-Haytham. Born in Basra (located in what is now Iraq) in 965, Ibn al-Haytham first studied theology, trying unsuccessfully to resolve the differences between the Shi'ah and Sunnah sects. He turned his attention to the works of the ancient Greeks, including mathematicians Euclid and Archimedes. He completed the fragmentary "Conics" by Apollonius of Perga. He was the first person to apply algebra to geometry, founding the branch of mathematics known as analytic geometry. He wrote several treatises of applied mathematics, including On Business Arithmetic, Determination of the Altitudes of Mountains, Determination of the Height of the Pole with the Greatest Precision, On the Altitudes of Triangles, On the… [cont.]

A. You didn't specify a grade level, so here are some easy ones. The digits of any multiple of 3 add up to a multiple of 3. The digits of any multiple of 9 add up to a multiple of 9. 2 is the only even prime number. The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter is always the same, no matter what size it is. It's called pi.

A. Heres two.. very simple ones. one: any time you want to end up with a repeating string of numbers (example: 0.123123123123) just take the number you want to repeat and divide it by a multiple of 9 with the same number of digits. (for this example 0.123123123 = 123/999) other examples 0.121212 = 12/99 0.333 - 3/9 0.0004000400040004= 0004/999 etc. trick two. done by a famous mathmatician (I forget who) to add all of the consecutive numbers in a set example: list 1 to 10, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 are consecutive put an inverted list next to it 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 add each pair together =11,11,11,11,11,11,11,11, 11,11 =10*11=110.

A. If you're looking for something to play in a group, then 'Fizz Buzz' is a good one. It can be played at differing levels. Start just by doing 'fizz' pick a times table... say 3s, you start counting - 1st person says 1, 2nd says 2, 3rd says FIZZ, the 4th says 4... so for evey number divisible by 3 the person says fizz also any number with a 3 in it, like 13, 23, 31, 32, 33(Fizz Fizz) 34...63 etc. If some one makes a mistake they're out (or you can have two or three lives to loose if it's children playing). When Fizz is mastered, add in the Buzz that means that you're doing TWO lots of tables eg 3 and 5... so it would count like this 1, 2, fizz, 4, buzz, fizz, 7,8,fizz,buzz...etc. It's even good fun to play at adult parties too...

A. 26/65. To reduce, cancel the 6s and get 2/5. That's the correct answer. Try another one. 16/64. Cancel the 6s to get 1/4. That's the correct answer. To compute 142857 times 3, you take the 1 from the beginning and put it on the end. 428571. 144 is the only number that is both square and a Fibonacci number, and further, it is F12, the square of its own subscript. For all numbers a and b, a* b = 0. The product of any two numbers is zero. Prove by induction on b. If b = 0, then a*0 = 0 is true for all a. Now suppose a*b=0 for all a and all b < n. Then a*n = a*(1+(n-1)) = a*1 + a*(n-1) = 0+0 = 0, from the induction hypothesis. This proves that a*b = 0 for all a and b. However, 2*2 = 4, so what's the error in this proof?

Asked by Daniella - Tue May 27 10:53:15 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 1) Pick a number 2) Double it 3) Add 10 5) Divide it by 2 6) Subtract the number you picked in step 1) 7) YOU GET 5 --- Given; a = b multiply both sides by a; a^2 = ab subtract b^2 from both sides a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2 factor both sides; (a + b)(a - b) = b(a - b) divide both sides by (a - b) (a + b) = b since given a = b, substitute b for a (b + b) = b add; 2b = b divide both sides by b; 2b/b = b/b since anything divided by itself is 1, then 2 = 1
