10 000 Interesting Numbers & Graham's Number

Most numbers have some special characteristic, there is a list of one interesting fact for the numbers additive identity of 0 to the Kaprekar number 9999. This list can be found at What's Special About This Number?. On a vaguely related topic, the largest finite integer used for a mathematical solution is Graham's Number-- a number that makes a Googolplex seem like a single quark in the greatness of the Universe, no joke.

These elements are both superheavy (on an atomic scale) and both synthetic-- they are not known to exist in the natural world. For more information consulte the press release from IUPAC.

The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences

I am not sure if I already blogged this but it's good enough to blog again: The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. I randomly entered '1,8,14,21' and found that it belongs to the sequence: "Numbers n with property that 9*n is a sum of two distinct positive cubes". Good to know! [Slightly irrelevant image from one of my favorite blogs, Futility Closet. Highly recommended!]
