Fun with numbers
I'm sure some of you brainiacs out there know all about this, but it's new to me: Kaprekar's constant.
In addition to being "the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything", the number 42 does, in fact, have some interesting, purely mathematical aspects.
It's new to me.
ReplyDeleteBut there a whole bunch of numerical relationships out there ....
I wonder how many were developed by Mr. Kaprekar?
All we need now is someone to figure out the relationship between 6174 and 42.
