preuve par 9 |
2001-04-04 |
|
Michel pose la question : Pourriez-vous m'expliquer en détail comment fonctionne la preuve par 9 (pour une division et une multiplication). Je sais l'appliquer mais je ne sais pas pourquoi ça marche. Je ne retrouve pas la démonstration. Merci de m'aider. Exemple . 17x2=34 ; preuve par neuf : 1+7=8 ; 8x2= 16 ; 1+6=7 et 3+4=7, on peut donc supposer (sans affirmer) que cette multiplication a un résultat juste car la preuve par 9 est bonne, 7=7. Comment fonctionne cette preuve par 9??? Claude Tardif lui répond. |

Six nines |
2010-09-16 |
|
Steph pose la question : It's sort of one question. We have to use six nines to get the numbers 1-30. I got all but 22, 23, 24, and 30. Like 15 is 9+9-(9+9+9)/9. Penny Nom lui répond. |

Valentin pose la question : What is the explanation for the following math trick: you think of any four digit number add those digits take that sum and subtract it from the first number then you say three of those new numbers in any order and the other person guesses the last digit.
How does he do it? Claude Tardif lui répond. |

A math trick |
2007-12-10 |
|
Megan pose la question : I need to write a mathematical explanation of why this works!
Start with a four digit number. (a positive integer, and all digits can NOT be the same. At least one must be different)
Rearrange that four digit number.
Subtract the smaller 4-digit number from the larger.
Now circel one digit. (canNOT be zero, because that is already a circle)
Now re-write that number excluding the circled digit.
Compute the sum of the digits.
Now write down the next multiple of 9 that is larger than the sum.
Subtract the Sum from the multiple. (multiple - sum of digits)
Report Difference = to number circled.
The resulting number should be the number that originally circled. Penny Nom lui répond. |

A number puzzle |
2006-03-22 |
|
A teacher pose la question : Students brought this website to my attention and asked why this puzzle worked... I'm not sure. The url is: http://digicc.com/fido/ and it tells you to choose a 3 or 4 digit random number with different digits. Write it down, rearrange, subtract the smaller from the larger. then circle a nonzero digit, type the remaining digits into the space provided and they will tell you the number you circled. Can you provide the reason that this works. Claude Tardif and Penny Nom lui répond. |

Back to the nines |
2006-03-15 |
|
Victoria pose la question :
Can you answer this problem, does an answer exist?
- Get a set of numbers 1-9 !
- Using the whole set of nine number tiles (digits 1-9), try to arrange them to make three 3-digit numbers so that the sum of the first two is the third.
Can this be done without carrying over? If not can it be done without carrying over into the hundreds column? Claude Tardif lui répond. |

Pick a number greater than 1 |
2004-06-25 |
|
A student pose la question : I understand that when you pick a number greater than 1 and less than 10; multiply it by 7 and add 23, then add the digits of that number until you get a one digit number. Then multiply that number by 9, add the digits of that number until you get a one digit number, subtract 3 from that number and divide the difference by 3; that this process will always give you the result of 2. Does this have a name or theory for it as to why the answer will always be 2? Penny Nom lui répond. |

What's it called? |

Gerry pose la question :
I'm a father and a grandfather and have come up with a game for my offspring to play while we're on the road. When we see a license plate, the object is to be the first one to add all the numbers on it, and come up with THE one digit number that sums them up.
For example: ABC-787 = 7+8+7 = 22 = 2+2 = 4
Another example is 2932 = 2+9+3+2 = 16 = 1+6 = 7
Up 'til now, I've called it just plain "Numerology", but I'm sure that there's a math term for what we're doing, and I'd sure appreciate it if you could tell me what it is!

X.9999... and X+1 |
2003-08-23 |
|
David pose la question : I have read your answers to the questions on rational numbers, esp. 6.9999... = ? and still have a question: The simple algebraic stunt of converting repeating decimals to rational numbers seems to work for all numbers except X.999999.... where X is any integer. The fact that the method yields the integer X+1 in each case seems to violate the completeness axiom of the real numbers, namely that there is no space on the number line which does not have an number and conversely that every geometric point on the number line is associated with a unique real number. In the case of 3.999... for example, it seems that both the number 4 and the number 3.9999.... occupy the same point on the number line. How is this possible??? Penny Nom lui répond. |

2002-03-27 |
|
A student pose la question : My teacher gave us a math problem to try and figure out and I am stumped. The problem was this.... by only using four nines, how can you get an answer of 100? You can add, subtract, multiply or divide...anything you need to do ,but you can only use four nines. Leeanne Boehm lui répond. |

Six nines |

A mom pose la question : My middle schooler (sixth) has to calculate the integers 0-20 using only 6 nines. We have done all but the integer 14. He can not use decimals or double the nine like 99 or 19. the fraction 9/9 is okay. Keep in mind of course the order of operations. Claude Tardif lui répond. |

A Place Value Curiosity |
1998-05-25 |
|
Ed pose la question : I was visiting with an elderly gentleman this afternoon. He showed me this curiosity and then asked if I could explain it to him. Can you provide an explanation of why the 9 or multiple of 9 keeps occurring in this procedure? Choose any number, say 125 and add the digits to get 8. subtract the 8 from the 125 and the result is 117. Add the digits in 117 to get 9. Subtract the 9 from the 117 to get 108. Add the digits in 108 to get 9. If this procedure continues a 9 or a multiple of 9 reoccurs. What is the mathematical explanation behind this happening? Denis Hanson lui répond. |
