INDEX > Log: > Now that Steve's back, we have 2,565 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 19 (whee, 5 > factors, all odd numbers! how odd!) ports. Indeed an interesting number. Note that the first 3 are 3, and can thus be removed. We're left with 2 numbers, the first of which is 5, and the second of which is 2 digits adding up to 10, so a number can be derived from its (adjusted) position by a simple multiplication by 5. This is, of course, also obtainable by noting that there are 5 factors, so we adjust the list to start with the first occurance of '5'... Taking the unfactored number, we see the first digit is 2, followed by a 5, indicating that there are to be 2 '5' digits in the number, as well as the closest larger (than 5) factor of 2, thus building the entire number as well. OK, so maybe my mind is a little mathematically tilted. I'll go find my pills now... -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Unix Systems Administrator | fullermd@futuresouth.com Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ FutureSouth Communications | ISPHelp ISP Consulting "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
