Talk:142857 (number)

Try

Try 76,923. Multiply it by 2. The sets of digits are not the same. However, look at all the multiples of 76,923 from 76,923*3 to 76,923*12 and it will have something very similar to 142,857. Any other numbers?? 66.32.145.196 00:49, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)

The Cool Sevenths

Not sure if this was mentioned in the article but notice... .142857=1/7 Now, let's move the one to the back to get .428571 Hey, isn't that 3/7? Now, let's move the four to the back to get .285714. Hold it. That's 2/7. Get it? Here's the full chart:

.142857=1/7
.428571=3/7
.285714=2/7
.857142=6/7
.571428=4/7
.714285=5/7

Found number PI (3,1415) in 142857

If I multiplicate 0,142857 with 2 exactly 41 times, I receive 3,1414586....^11 and I found, that I can rebuild 0,142857 from 1/7

1/7 = 2/14 <--- 0,_14 1/7 = 4/28 <--- 0,_14_28 1/7 = 8/56 <--- 0,_14_28_56

---

and if i do the following:

1# divide 9 / 8 

2# divide the result / 7

3#
 result / 6 
 result / 5
 result / 4
 result / 3
 result / 2

4# multiplicate the result with 2 , exactly 5 times.

then i receive a term 1/140 = 0,007142857

complete calculation:

1#  9/8  * 1/7 * 1/6 * 1/5  * 1/4 * 1/3 * 1/2

2#  = 9/40320

3# * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 

4# = 288/40320 
   = 1/140

5# 0,007142857

What will be the Factorial of 285714 (i.e. 285784!)

What will be the Factorial of 285714 (i.e. 285784!) -Unknown

Very interesting number!

Cyclic numbers have very interesting properties, I wonder if anyone is interested in them and uses them as an ID or something? Tyciol 13:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Other properties

Hi. How about:

142857/2 = 71428.5
142857/3 = 47619
142857/4 = 35714.25
142857/5 = 28571.4
142857/6 = 23809.5
142857/7 = 20408.142857...
142857/8 = 17857.125
142857/9 = 15873
142857/11 = 12987
142857/13 = 10989

and

1/142857 = 0.000007
2/142857 = 0.000014
3/142857 = 0.000021
4/142857 = 0.000028
5/142857 = 0.000035
6/142857 = 0.000042
7/142857 = 0.000049

Interesting? ~AH1^(TCU) 15:48, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Origins of Geometrical Construction

One wonders if possibly the early geometrical constructions were shaped by factors now known to exist, but unknown then. That is, for instance, the difference between the plane constructions (typically on a horizontal table or floor or on a movable object) in contrast with the vertical. The two dimensional table does not present any contradiction in modern physics, but in three dimensional constructions the vertical is relativistically distinct.

For instance, light is gravitationally shifted in frequency and wavelength depending on whether it is rising or falling. The effect is slight and difficult to observe and measure even now, but it did make the third dimension different from the two dimensions of the Euclidean plane. One could not pick up the scribe or rule without changing the state of its relation to the previously drawn figure. That is why the idea of a continuous line appeared in the Rules of Construction. They did not know why that was 'illegal' but it was because raising the writing tool created a space-time interval in which the atmosphere interrupted continuity of the drawn line. The cosmology of the integers, as well as the forms of hands, are all formed in an atmosphere that is 80% nitrogen, atomic number 7, atomic weight 14.

For much of history, carbon was the element of choice for writing and drawing. It still is. The atomic number is six, and it is probably what led to the Star of David symbol. Silicon is an emerging element in information technology. To construct a "Star of Silicon" with silicon's atomic number of 14, a fourteen pointed star is necessary. Calculation of the angle between fourteen equidistant points on the circumference of a circle results in 360/14 = 25.714285714285714285714285714286, containing the repeating sequence 142857. Is 14 silicon's atomic number, or nitrogen's atomic weight? SyntheticET (talk) 18:58, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
