padaan lang po.... ask ko lang.... what is the biggest number?

 

We'll have a lot of dough if you can think of the largest PRIME number.

@ bottomfeeding... good answers i am impressed. we are looking for wind engrs baka pwede ka?

 

magandang pakinggan yung wind engineer. hahahaha. hehehe is that a job offer po? why not.. kesa naman mabulok lang yung pinagaralan ko kasi di ko nagagamit dito sa amin.

guys,

 

im here in china. i just want to ask sana kung sino meron dyan alam or a way on how to compute for numbers.

 

reason is lotto here in china is just about 33 numbers compare to the normal of 42 numbers.

 

but may twist kse, the 33 numbers are called red balls while after the 6 number may tinatawag na magic number or blue number that is 1-16

 

curious lang ako since mas mataas ang probability to win here compare to sa pinas.

 

hope some may help me

 

thanks

Sad to say there is no biggest number. Also, there is no largest PRIME number.

But you can join the race of searching the largest known prime number. For related discussion,

read about Mersene's prime. Price is 1M US dollar. Good luck!

this is how i do mental subtraction

when the last two digits of the minuend

is less than the last two digits

of the subtrahend.

 

i think most of us can figure out

from the top of our heads

any number subtracted from 100.

 

also easier to add the final two numbers.

The Magic Square

 

http://www.futilitycloset.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/2010-08-14-time-well-spent.jpg

 

The Journal of Recreational Mathematics published this remarkable magic square, composed by “a puzzlist who at the time was a prison inmate.”

 

The large 13 x 13 square is magic — that is, each row and column adds to the same sum — but so is each successive nested square, from 11 x 11 down to 3 x 3.

 

The magic constant of each square is 10,874 smaller than the last.

 

And every cell is prime.

find the differential equation...solve: (3x+3y-4)dx +(X+1)^2 dy = 0

 

clue: it is best solve if you use the method on solving linear differential equations

I get disappointed yesterday when one of my partners (a teacher that is) told me that he failed in coaching one of his students correctly. That he was not able to come up a correct solution particularly in determining the Trigonometric functions et al.. Sigh.

 

The biggest mystery in mathematics

1= 2 -- ?

Parlay bet or combo bet..use 7 consecutive win where 1 bet becomes 2 -4-8-16-32-64-128 then cash out the money.. An be applicable in playing roullette or baccarat.. Instead of betting 1:1 is not practical because we connot out guess the trend.. In short if your winning increase bet ..if your losing remain at 1 bet .. Parlay bet can always catch up to the loss of single bet.. Thats how i make my money in gambling.. Quota lang kayo.. Sabay alis na..

“No mathematician in the world would bother making these senseless distinctions: 2 1/2 is a "mixed number " while 5/2 is an "improper fraction." They're EQUAL for crying out loud. They are the exact same numbers and have the exact same properties. Who uses such words outside of fourth grade?”

― Paul Lockhart, A Mathematician's Lament: How School Cheats Us Out of Our Most Fascinating and Imaginative Art Form

 

 

That I agree, except the phrase "senseless distinctions". Every level has its own distinctions that need to be explained (and provide drills and exercises). They can be taught as early as second grade. Then again, it differs on the curriculum that any school has been instilling.

if any number raised to 0 is 1;

and 0 raised to any number is 0;

 

then what is 0⁰ ?

It's still 1.

 

Now, before you ask me to explain, prove you're not stupid first and that you've done above ave math before (on other words, you would understand). Because the last thing I would want is to talk s@%t like these for free.

 

 

I'm more inclined to believe that you have better things to attend to than this--- like something that would, at the very least, make you a peso richer or something that would get you an inch closer to getting laid.

 

 

Now, if it will enrich your life to know from a drunk man, hit me with a PM.

 

 

But here's the idea: the sun shines prettier if 0^0 = 1 for math guys. Earning a living with numbers. No. I've yet to earn a cent knowing this. And no, it's not getting me laid.

what is the biggest prime number?

 

prime number - a number that can no longer be divided and can only be divided by itself and 1. example ~13. another is 29 and 117. so again, what is the biggest prime number?

Optimusprime number
