After a week break due to busy schedule, back in action!
Let's look at the number 65536 - Very well known to the computer world :)
Some interesting facts about this number - few of them everyone is aware of and few more which are not so obvious
Encourage others to add to this since the primary intention of this series is to convey how we should look at numbers and patterns
1. The obvious one - Square root of 65536 is 256 which in turn is square of 16 which in turn is square of 4 and in turn square of 2
2. 65536 - One anagram of this is again 65536 - something which not many numbers can boast of
3. Now add the digits - You get 25 which is a perfect square! Now suffix 6 to 25 and you get 256 which is the square root of 65536 :)
4. Take the number 65536 and do this operation - (65 + 5) * 36 = 2520 which itself is a special number (Lowest number to have factors from 1 to 10)
5. In step 4 switch the operation - (65 * 5) + 36 = 361 which is a perfect square of 19
6. Now take the reverse of 65536 (63556) and repeat Step 5- (63 * 5) + 56 = 371 which is an Amrstrong number
The list goes on...
