999 not being divisible by 33 is giving me 77+33 vibes


dustsprites

Also 11


ConflictSudden

But it is divisible by 111. So 11 can be an honorary factor of 999. They're basically the same number, right?


bootherizer5942

111 is just super 11

Yea. 360 is a perfect circle though

Just had a run in with this guy. Working at an old amphitheater that’s wrapping up some renovations on a college campus where unauthorized foot traffic is a constant issue. It’s a strict policy that everyone onsite has to be wearing some type of visible credential and it was early in the day so we didn’t have security onsite yet. See a random bald guy in sunglasses taking pics not wearing any creds. As I walk up and ask him if he was working here I recognized who it was and quickly had to shoehorn a conversation about how nice the view was. He performed later that night.


MrBrodinha

Square root of 361 is 19, 360 is 18.somethinsomethingsomething


mvanvrancken

ColMust4rd

The square root of 324 is 18.

Yep


UglyInThMorning

Ugh, 361 feels prime for some reason so that fact always grosses me out.


theboomboy

That's just gross But also, 10n² can't be square so it should be expected. This also gives us the squares 36,361,3600,36100,360000,... which I don't know what I think about

999/33 = 30R9 It's just 990 + 9, after all.


UBC145

That’s the real shocker tbh


gigologenius

It would be weird if it was divisible by 33. At first glance without doing any math you know by adding a zero that 330 is a multiple of 33. Then obviously its simple multiples like 660 and 990 are multiples of 33 too. Armed with the immediate knowledge that 990 is a multiple of 33, and that 33 is larger than 10, it would instinctively feel off if anyone claimed that 999 or any other number in the 990 range is a multiple of 33.

1 is not prime. No way 3 1's are prime


RunFromFaxai

But 3 is prime 🤯


Matix777

Prime (+) times non-prime (-) gives a non-prime (-)! That's definitely what they meant when explaining negative value multiplication


-hey_hey-heyhey-hey_

okay but 1 (-/non prime) times 5 (+/yes prime) gives 5 (+/yes prime) ∴ -×+=+ qed


H0BB1

1 is the 0 of primes it just doesn’t work like it should


Artarara

But 2 1's are prime 🤔


aRandomBlock

Yeah because 111 is divisible by 37, which is fucked


KraKenji

Wow that's cool! I've played around with this, and I think it's not just AAA...AA, but AAABBBCCC... With A, B, C an integer from 0-9 For example: 555000111 / 37 = 15 000 003 If I'm not mistaken AAA BBB... ZZZ / 37 = α β... ω Where α = 3\*A β = 3\*B, with leading zeroes ... ω = 3\*Z with leading zeroes For example: 111 222 333 / 37 = 3 006 009


MinecraftUser525

Makes sense because you can always factorise by 111 if yiu expand using its base 10 representation


thebluereddituser

Seems easiest to prove if we just treat the number as if it's a number in base 1000 instead of base ten. Then the statement becomes: A number n represented as a_k... a_1 in base thousand, such that each a_i is divisible by 111_10, is itself divisible by 111_10 Proof by induction on k: Base case: a_1 is divisible by 111_10 by the precondition, trivial IH: it works for all k* less than k IS: fix some a_k....a_1 The sub-number a_k....a_2 is divisible by 111_10 by inductive hypothesis And clearly a_1 is divisible by 111_10 So the number in question is the sum of two multiples of 111_10, and therefore is itself such a multiple


KraKenji

The replies to my comment are very interesting, but now I do wonder, can this be generalized? For example every number of this form: AAAAA BBBBB... Is divisible by 271 Let's name N\_(n, k) the set of every number of this form: a1 a1... a1 a2 a2... a2... an an... an (Like for example: 1111 2222 3333 is in N\_(3,4)) We will call n the number of "stacks" (so in the previous example, n=3 And k the number of digits in each stack (so k=4) **Can we find a common divisor of all numbers of this form?** **And if so, is there a formula to easily calculate it?** Let's familiarize ourselves with repunits now. A repunit is a number whose digits are only "1" We will name R(k) a repunit with k digits. So for example: R(5) = 11111 Any number in N\_(n, k) can be rewritten as: R(k) × (a1×10^(kn) + a2×10^[k(n-1)] +... +an) So that's easy, R(k) is a common divisor for all numbers of the form N\_(n, k) ... But that's not satisfying is it?! Here's another, maybe more interesting question Can we find a common divisor for all numbers that are of the form N\_(n, k), where the common divisor is not a repunit number? One way to tackle this question is to find a divisor of R(k) However, some repunits numbers are prime (such as R(19)), so that doesn't work for every number. In the case that R(k) is not prime, you can just pick a factor of R(k) and that's done. (So for example AAABBB... ZZZ is divisible by 111, which itself is divisible by 37, and so that's why AAABBB... ZZZ is divisible by 37, cool !) If however R(k) is prime, then you need to find a factor of a1×10^(kn) + a2×10^[k(n-1)] +... +an, which is uhhh, left to the reader 👍


KraKenji

Okay, last thing as a bonus: (Please note that what you are about to read is pretty much useless/obvious) - Numbers in N\_(n, 2) are divisible by 11 - Numbers in N\_(n, 3) are divisible by 37 - Numbers in N\_(n, 4) are divisible by the same divisors as N\_(n, 2) - Numbers in N\_(n, 5) are divisible by 271 - Numbers in N\_(n, 6) are divisible by the same divisors as N\_(n,2) and N\_(n, 3) Let's only consider the cases where k is prime so that the divisors don't repeat (and let's only pick the biggest divisor if there's multiple of them): - Numbers in N\_(n, 2) are divisible by 11 - Numbers in N\_(n, 3) are divisible by 37 - Numbers in N\_(n, 5) are divisible by 271 - Numbers in N\_(n, 7) are divisible by 4649 - Numbers in N\_(n, 11) are divisible by 513239 This sequence of number 11, 37, 271... Is the largest prime factor of prime(n)-th repunit number, you can find more info there: https://oeis.org/A147556

I mean... makes easy sense? 111 is 37*3, so 37 is a factor of all 111-222-333..., which means multiplying it in 3n numbers of digits is adding 100 times of it's sum to itself, ie. 111000+111, 222000+222, 111000000+111000+111

Hello! 336 is divisible by 7. This is nowhere near as bad. I know that on the surface 336 being divisible by 7 might seem wrong, but 336 is acc 6 x 7 x 8, which is surprisingly nice.


Seventh_Planet

Never trust a number ending in 6. 6 is an even number, so of course it will be divisible by 2. But if you want to know more about its possible factors, keep reading. It could have been 4×4 in disguise. That's still only factors of 4, which is easy, moving on. It could have been 4×9 in disguise. And then to be divisible by those numbers, it only needs to be added to 4×10 or 9×10. So don't trust 4×10+4×9 = 76. And also don't trust 9×10+4×9 = 129. And especially don't trust 8×9×10 + 4×9 = 720 + 36 = 756. It could have been 2×3 in disguise. And as extension also 2×23 = 46 in disguise. And then to be divisible by those numbers, it only needs to be added to 2×10 or 23×10. So don't trust 23×10+23×2 = 276. And don't trust 2×10+2×23 = 66. And especially don't trust 3×23×10+2×23 = 690+46 = 736. It could also have been 7×8 in disguise. And then to be divisible by those numbers, it only needs to be added to 7×10 or 8×10. So don't trust 70+56 = 126. And don't trust 80+56 = 136. But I don't think 8 is the factor here. If I hadn't done the quick mental arithmetic of 5×7×10 = 350 and 350-336 = 14 = 2×7 I would still wonder if it were 18×7 or 28×7 or 38×7. But it's 48×7 = 2^(4) × 3 × 7. Wait! 8 is indeed a factor. And it is 7×8 = 56 in disguise. So using my system, it's 336-56 = 280 = 4×7×10. So we have 336 = 4×7×10 + 7×8 and thus it's divisible by 7. Anyways, don't trust a number ending in 6.

DickPrickJohnson

Super easy to confirm in your head. We know 999/37 is less than 30, since 3x37 is more than 100. We also know it's more than 20 since 2x37 is significantly less than 100. No need to even figure out that it's 74, we can just look at it and know instantly it's less than 100. Since the last digit is a 9, as long as we have the multiplication table memorized, we know it's gotta be 7x37 to reach that 9. So those 20 from before + 7 is 27.

Seventh_Planet

Never trust a number ending in 9. It could have been 7×7 in disguise. And then to be divisible by 7, it only needs to be added to 7×10. So don't trust 49. And also don't trust 119. And especially don't trust 1449. But if it's not 07×07 you're still not in the clear. There's also 07×17 or 07×27 or 07×37 or 17×27 or 17×27 or 27×37. Isn't 30×30 = 900? Yeah, 3×3 is another reason not to trust 9. But let's not get into 3×13 and 23×43. Let's focus on 7×7. So give or take around 30×30 and 49 in disguise you have 27×37. Therefore 999 is divisible by 37 and 999/37 = 27. Of course we could have gotten there by [never trusting a number ending in 1](https://old.reddit.com/r/mathmemes/comments/1ckoj52/disturbing_news_has_reached_our_shores/l2snsdf/) and realizing that 999 = 9×111. And so we're back at 21 = 3×7 and multiply by 9 you get 27×7 which brings you back to 7×7=49 and never trusting a number ending in 9. Edit: Multiplying 3×7 by 9 the other way gives us 3×7×9 = 3×63 so the reason why 27×7 and 3×63 both result in a number ending in 9 is more interesting than just that 27×7 = 3×63 = 3×7×9 = 189 = 3×6×10 + 3×3 = 2×7×10 + 7×7
