Natural Number
In mathematics, the natural numbers are those numbers used for counting (as in "there are ''six'' coins on the table") and ordering (as in "this is the ''third'' largest city in the country"). Numbers used for counting are called ''Cardinal number, cardinal numbers'', and numbers used for ordering are called ''Ordinal number, ordinal numbers''. Natural numbers are sometimes used as labels, known as ''nominal numbers'', having none of the properties of numbers in a mathematical sense (e.g. sports Number (sports), jersey numbers). Some definitions, including the standard ISO/IEC 80000, ISO 80000-2, begin the natural numbers with , corresponding to the non-negative integers , whereas others start with , corresponding to the positive integers Texts that exclude zero from the natural numbers sometimes refer to the natural numbers together with zero as the whole numbers, while in other writings, that term is used instead for the integers (including negative integers). The natural ...

255 (number)
255 (two hundred ndfifty-five) is the natural number following 254 and preceding 256. In mathematics Its factorization makes it a sphenic number. Since 255 = 28 – 1, it is a Mersenne number (though not a pernicious one), and the fourth such number not to be a prime number. It is a perfect totient number, the smallest such number to be neither a power of three nor thrice a prime. Since 255 is the product of the first three Fermat primes, the regular 255-gon is constructible. In base 10, it is a self number. 255 is a repdigit in base 2 (11111111), in base 4 (3333), and in base 16 (FF). \left\ = 255. In computing 255 is a special number in some tasks having to do with computing. This is the maximum value representable by an eight-digit binary number, and therefore the maximum representable by an unsigned 8-bit byte (the most common size of byte, also called an octet), the smallest common variable size used in high level programming languages (bit being smaller, but rarely ...

Deficient Number
In number theory, a deficient number or defective number is a number ''n'' for which the sum of divisors of ''n'' is less than 2''n''. Equivalently, it is a number for which the sum of proper divisors (or aliquot sum) is less than ''n''. For example, the proper divisors of 8 are 1, 2, and 4, and their sum is less than 8, so 8 is deficient. Denoting by ''σ''(''n'') the sum of divisors, the value 2''n'' − ''σ''(''n'') is called the number's deficiency. In terms of the aliquot sum ''s''(''n''), the deficiency is ''n'' − ''s''(''n''). Examples The first few deficient numbers are :1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 49, 50, ... As an example, consider the number 21. Its divisors are 1, 3, 7 and 21, and their sum is 32. Because 32 is less than 42, the number 21 is deficient. Its deficiency is 2 × 21 − 32 = 10. Properties Since the aliquot ...

130 (number)
130 (one hundred ndthirty) is the natural number following 129 and preceding 131. In mathematics 130 is a sphenic number. It is a noncototient since there is no answer to the equation ''x'' - φ(''x'') = 130. 130 is the only integer that is the sum of the squares of its first four divisors, including 1: 12 + 22 + 52 + 102 = 130. 130 is the largest number that cannot be written as the sum of four hexagonal numbers. 130 equals both 27 + 2 and 53 + 5 and is therefore a ''doubly strictly '' number. In religion The Book of Genesis states Adam had Seth at the age of 130. The Second Book of Chronicles says that Jehoiada died at the age of 130. In other fields One hundred ndthirty is also: * The year AD 130 or 130 BC * The 130 nanometer process is a semiconductor process technology by semiconductor companies * A 130-30 fund or a ratio up to 150/50 is a type of collective investment vehicle * The C130 Hercules aircraft References See also * List of highways numbered 130 * U ...

Semiprime Number
In mathematics, a semiprime is a natural number that is the product of exactly two prime numbers. The two primes in the product may equal each other, so the semiprimes include the squares of prime numbers. Because there are infinitely many prime numbers, there are also infinitely many semiprimes. Semiprimes are also called biprimes. Examples and variations The semiprimes less than 100 are: Semiprimes that are not square numbers are called discrete, distinct, or squarefree semiprimes: The semiprimes are the case k=2 of the k-almost primes, numbers with exactly k prime factors. However some sources use "semiprime" to refer to a larger set of numbers, the numbers with at most two prime factors (including unit (1), primes, and semiprimes). These are: Formula for number of semiprimes A semiprime counting formula was discovered by E. Noel and G. Panos in 2005. Let \pi_2(n) denote the number of semiprimes less than or equal to n. Then \pi_2(n) = \sum_^ pi(n/p_k) - k + 1 /math> where ...

American English
American English, sometimes called United States English or U.S. English, is the set of variety (linguistics), varieties of the English language native to the United States. English is the Languages of the United States, most widely spoken language in the United States and in most circumstances is the de facto common language used in government, education and commerce. Since the 20th century, American English has become the most influential form of English worldwide. American English varieties include many patterns of pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar and particularly spelling that are unified nationwide but distinct from other English dialects around the world. Any North American English, American or Canadian accent (sociolinguistics), accent perceived as lacking noticeably local, ethnic or cultural markedness, markers is popularly called General American, "General" or "Standard" American, a fairly uniform dialect continuum, accent continuum native to certain regions of the U ...

Square-free Integer
In mathematics, a square-free integer (or squarefree integer) is an integer which is divisible by no square number other than 1. That is, its prime factorization has exactly one factor for each prime that appears in it. For example, is square-free, but is not, because 18 is divisible by . The smallest positive square-free numbers are Square-free factorization Every positive integer n can be factored in a unique way as n=\prod_^k q_i^i, where the q_i different from one are square-free integers that are pairwise coprime. This is called the ''square-free factorization'' of . To construct the square-free factorization, let n=\prod_^h p_j^ be the prime factorization of n, where the p_j are distinct prime numbers. Then the factors of the square-free factorization are defined as q_i=\prod_p_j. An integer is square-free if and only if q_i=1 for all i > 1. An integer greater than one is the kth power of another integer if and only if k is a divisor of all i such that q_i\neq 1. T ...

Nontotient
In number theory, a nontotient is a positive integer ''n'' which is not a totient number: it is not in the range of Euler's totient function φ, that is, the equation φ(''x'') = ''n'' has no solution ''x''. In other words, ''n'' is a nontotient if there is no integer ''x'' that has exactly ''n'' coprimes below it. All odd numbers are nontotients, except 1, since it has the solutions ''x'' = 1 and ''x'' = 2. The first few even nontotients are : 14, 26, 34, 38, 50, 62, 68, 74, 76, 86, 90, 94, 98, 114, 118, 122, 124, 134, 142, 146, 152, 154, 158, 170, 174, 182, 186, 188, 194, 202, 206, 214, 218, 230, 234, 236, 242, 244, 246, 248, 254, 258, 266, 274, 278, 284, 286, 290, 298, ... Least ''k'' such that the totient of ''k'' is ''n'' are (0 if no such ''k'' exists) :1, 3, 0, 5, 0, 7, 0, 15, 0, 11, 0, 13, 0, 0, 0, 17, 0, 19, 0, 25, 0, 23, 0, 35, 0, 0, 0, 29, 0, 31, 0, 51, 0, 0, 0, 37, 0, 0, 0, 41, 0, 43, 0, 69, 0, 47, 0, 65, 0, 0, 0, 53, 0, 81, ...

Lazy Caterer's Sequence
The lazy caterer's sequence, more formally known as the central polygonal numbers, describes the maximum number of pieces of a disk (a pancake or pizza is usually used to describe the situation) that can be made with a given number of straight cuts. For example, three cuts across a pancake will produce six pieces if the cuts all meet at a common point inside the circle, but up to seven if they do not. This problem can be formalized mathematically as one of counting the cells in an arrangement of lines; for generalizations to higher dimensions, ''see'' arrangement of hyperplanes. The analogue of this sequence in three dimensions is the cake number. Formula and sequence The maximum number ''p'' of pieces that can be created with a given number of cuts , where , is given by the formula : p = \frac. Using binomial coefficients, the formula can be expressed as :p = 1 + \dbinom = \dbinom+\dbinom+\dbinom. Simply put, each number equals a triangular number plus 1. As the third col ...

Congruent Number
In number theory, a congruent number is a positive integer that is the area of a right triangle with three rational number sides. A more general definition includes all positive rational numbers with this property. The sequence of (integer) congruent numbers starts with :5, 6, 7, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, 30, 31, 34, 37, 38, 39, 41, 45, 46, 47, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 60, 61, 62, 63, 65, 69, 70, 71, 77, 78, 79, 80, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 101, 102, 103, 109, 110, 111, 112, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, ... For example, 5 is a congruent number because it is the area of a (20/3, 3/2, 41/6) triangle. Similarly, 6 is a congruent number because it is the area of a (3,4,5) triangle. 3 and 4 are not congruent numbers. If is a congruent number then is also a congruent number for any natural number (just by multiplying each side of the triangle by ), and vice versa. This leads to the observation that whether a nonzero rational number is a congruent number ...

Nanometre
330px, Different lengths as in respect to the molecular scale. The nanometre (international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: nm) or nanometer (American and British English spelling differences#-re, -er, American spelling) is a units of measurement, unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one billionth (short scale) of a metre () and to 1000 picometres. One nanometre can be expressed in scientific notation as , and as  metres. History The nanometre was formerly known as the millimicrometre – or, more commonly, the millimicron for short – since it is of a micron (micrometre), and was often denoted by the symbol mμ or (more rarely and confusingly, since it logically should refer to a ''millionth'' of a micron) as μμ. Etymology The name combines the SI prefix ''nano-'' (from the Ancient Greek , ', "dwarf") with the parent unit name ''metre'' (from Greek , ', "unit of measurement"). ...
