What are some common unknown maths facts?

 The power of four 4s

We can get any number with the use of four 4s.

For e.g.

4–4+4–4=0

(4/4)÷(4–4)=1

4+(4×(4–4))=4

even 99

(4/4)%- (4/4) =99

and so on.

73 and its mirror image are called sexy primes.

  • 1729 also known as Ramanujan Number. There is a speciality of this number. It is the smallest number which can be expressed as the sum of two cubes in two different ways. 1729= 1^3 + 12^3 = 9^3 + 10^3
  • Lets see how 0! Is equal to 1.

3!= 4! ÷4

2!= 3! ÷ 3

1!= 2!÷ 2

Similarly,

0!=(1! ÷ 1) i.e. 1

There is one more way to understand this. Have you ever thought that in how many ways we can arrange zero objects?

Don’t stress your brain. Its only one way we can arrange zero object.

Just think once. If you feel maths then you will get why 0! is equal to 1.

0! is the number of ways we can arrange zero object.

  • Now comes the most interesting result I had ever seen.

Will you believe if I say

1+2+3+4+…+ infinity = -1/12

After I saw the proof I was like …WTH!

My entire mathematics knowledge fluxed out like water.

How the sum of positive natural numbers can be in fraction that too negative.

But sadly its true.

For proof check out numberphile in youtube.

ASTOUNDING: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + ... = -1/12
