Blog Post #99: Ramanujan Birthday special!

22-12-2017 - Today is the 130th birth anniversary of the Mathematics Genius Shri. Ramanujan and this post is a humble tribute to the Man who knew Infinity! Number 13 seems to hog the action and it is fascinating to see the same

Here we go!

a) 2212 + 2017 = 4229 which is 65 ^2 + 2 ^ 2 (65 is a multiple of 13)

b) 4229 in turn is a prime number and it doesn't stop there - Let's look at the relationship between 4229 and 1729 which is Ramanujan number itself

4229 - 1729 = 2500 which is a perfect square! Wow - How do we explain that? Ramanujan number is always in action in some form or the other

c) 2212 - 2017 - 195 which is 65 ^ 3 (65 is a multiple of 13)

d) Now 2017 - 1887 (birth year of Ramanujan) is 130 which is again a multiple of 13

e) 22-12 = 10 and 20-17 = 3 and 10 + 3 gives 13 again!

f) Last but not the least the ever famous Ramanujan number 1729 by itself is a multiple of 13 and that explains why 22-12-2017 in conjunction with 22-12-1887 is so special
