-- --------------- I did make a discovery to connect Rodin's work with prime numbers, my current area of focus. In essence I am trying to figure out why some numbers may be more sacred than others in a mathematical sense, such as prime numbers or numbers with high number of factors like 60. Well, taking both of those ideas I came up with this. I am not sure if anyone has every realized the factor relationship with prime numbers before, but I discovered it right after an intense meditation session last night heh. Number on left is prime number. 1: 1 = 1 (1 factor) 2: 1 x 2 = 2 (2 factors) 3: 1 x 2 x 3 = 6 (4 factors) 5: 1 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 30 (8 factors) 7: 1 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210 (16 factors) 11: 1 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 11 = 2310 (32 factors) 13: 1 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 11 x 13 = 30030 (64 factors) 17: 1 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 11 x 13 x 17 = 510510 (128 factors) 19: 1 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 11 x 13 x 17 x 19 = 9699690 (256 factors) Then this connects with Rodin's work: 1 = 1 2 = 2 4 = 4 8 = 8 1 + 6 = 7 3 + 2 = 5 6 + 4 = 10, 1 + 0 = 1 1 + 2 + 8 = 11, 1 + 1 = 2 2 + 5 + 6 = 13, 1 + 3 = 4 Note though, one is not considered a prime number. They say a prime is a number only divisible by one and itself. It makes more sense to say a prime is a number that has only two factors. Most numbers have 4 or more even number of factors. Two square numbers have three, and all the other square numbers have an odd set of factors. One is the only number that has one factor. The barrier between prime and non-prime numbers could be more like Prime numbers > Factors of 2. But ya, hopefully not way over your heads. Last edited by GregorArturo; 10-08-2008 at 01:30 PM. |
