Show numerical properties of 256
We start by listing out divisors for 256
| Divisor | Divisor Math |
|---|---|
| 1 | 256 ÷ 1 = 256 |
| 2 | 256 ÷ 2 = 128 |
| 4 | 256 ÷ 4 = 64 |
| 8 | 256 ÷ 8 = 32 |
| 16 | 256 ÷ 16 = 16 |
| 32 | 256 ÷ 32 = 8 |
| 64 | 256 ÷ 64 = 4 |
| 128 | 256 ÷ 128 = 2 |
Positive or Negative Number Test:
Positive Numbers > 0Since 256 ≥ 0 and it is an integer
256 is a positive number
Whole Number Test:
Positive numbers including 0with no decimal or fractions
Since 256 ≥ 0 and it is an integer
256 is a whole number
Prime or Composite Test:
Since 256 has divisors other than 1 and itself
it is a composite number
Perfect/Deficient/Abundant Test:
Calculate divisor sum D
If D = N, then it's perfect
If D > N, then it's abundant
If D < N, then it's deficient
Divisor Sum = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 128
Divisor Sum = 255
Since our divisor sum of 255 < 256
256 is a deficient number!
Odd or Even Test (Parity Function):
A number is even if it is divisible by 2
If not divisible by 2, it is odd
| 128 = | 256 |
| 2 |
Since 128 is an integer, 256 is divisible by 2
it is an even number
This can be written as A(256) = Even
Evil or Odious Test:
Get binary expansion
If binary has even amount 1's, then it's evil
If binary has odd amount 1's, then it's odious
256 to binary = 100000000
There are 1 1's, 256 is an odious number
Triangular Test:
Can you stack numbers in a pyramid?
Each row above has one item less than the row before it
Using a bottom row of 23 items, we cannot form a pyramid
256 is not triangular
Triangular number:
Rectangular Test:
Is there an integer m such that n = m(m + 1)
No integer m exists such that m(m + 1) = 256
256 is not rectangular
Rectangular number:
Automorphic (Curious) Test:
Does n2 ends with n
2562 = 256 x 256 = 65536
Since 65536 does not end with 256
it is not automorphic (curious)
Automorphic number:
Undulating Test:
Do the digits of n alternate in the form abab
In this case, a = 2 and b = 5
In order to be undulating, Digit 1: 222 should be equal to 2
In order to be undulating, Digit 2: 555 should be equal to 5
Since our digit pattern does not alternate in our abab pattern256 is not undulating
Square Test:
Is there a number m such that m2 = n?
162 = 256
Since 256 is the square of 16
256 is a square
Cube Test:
Is there a number m such that m3 = n
63 = 216 and 73 = 343 ≠ 256
Therefore, 256 is not a cube
Palindrome Test:
Is the number read backwards equal to the number?
The number read backwards is 652
Since 256 <> 652
it is not a palindrome
Palindromic Prime Test:
Is it both prime and a palindrome
From above, since 256 is not both prime and a palindrome
it is NOT a palindromic prime
Repunit Test:
A number is repunit if every digit is equal to 1
Since there is at least one digit in 256 ≠ 1
then it is NOT repunit
Apocalyptic Power Test:
Does 2n contain the consecutive digits 666?
2256 = 1.1579208923732E+77
Since 2256 does not have 666
256 is NOT an apocalyptic power
Pentagonal Test:
It satisfies the form:
| n(3n - 1) | |
| 2 |
Check values of 13 and 14
Using n = 14, we have:
| 14(3(14 - 1) | |
| 2 |
| 14(42 - 1) | |
| 2 |
287 ← Since this does not equal 256
this is NOT a pentagonal number
Using n = 13, we have:
| 13(3(13 - 1) | |
| 2 |
| 13(39 - 1) | |
| 2 |
247 ← Since this does not equal 256
this is NOT a pentagonal number
Pentagonal number:
Hexagonal Test:
Is there an integer m such that n = m(2m - 1)
No integer m exists such that m(2m - 1) = 256
Therefore 256 is not hexagonal
Hexagonal number:
Heptagonal Test:
Is there an integer m such that:
| m = | n(5n - 3) |
| 2 |
No integer m exists such that m(5m - 3)/2 = 256
Therefore 256 is not heptagonal
Heptagonal number:
Octagonal Test:
Is there an integer m such that n = m(3m - 3)
No integer m exists such that m(3m - 2) = 256
Therefore 256 is not octagonal
Octagonal number:
Nonagonal Test:
Is there an integer m such that:
| m = | n(7n - 5) |
| 2 |
No integer m exists such that m(7m - 5)/2 = 256
Therefore 256 is not nonagonal
Nonagonal number:
Tetrahedral (Pyramidal) Test:
Tetrahederal numbers satisfy the form:
| n(n + 1)(n + 2) | |
| 6 |
Check values of 10 and 11
Using n = 11, we have:
| 11(11 + 1)(11 + 2) | |
| 6 |
| 11(12)(13) | |
| 6 |
286 ← Since this does not equal 256
This is NOT a tetrahedral (Pyramidal) number
Using n = 10, we have:
| 10(10 + 1)(10 + 2) | |
| 6 |
| 10(11)(12) | |
| 6 |
220 ← Since this does not equal 256
This is NOT a tetrahedral (Pyramidal) number
Narcissistic (Plus Perfect) Test:
Is equal to the square sum of it's m-th powers of its digits
256 is a 3 digit number, so m = 3
Square sum of digitsm = 23 + 53 + 63
Square sum of digitsm = 8 + 125 + 216
Square sum of digitsm = 349
Since 349 <> 256
256 is NOT narcissistic (plus perfect)
Catalan Test:
| Cn = | 2n! |
| (n + 1)!n! |
Check values of 6 and 7
Using n = 7, we have:
| C7 = | (2 x 7)! |
| 7!(7 + 1)! |
Using our factorial lesson
| C7 = | 14! |
| 7!8! |
| C7 = | 87178291200 |
| (5040)(40320) |
| C7 = | 87178291200 |
| 203212800 |
C7 = 429
Since this does not equal 256
This is NOT a Catalan number
Using n = 6, we have:
| C6 = | (2 x 6)! |
| 6!(6 + 1)! |
Using our factorial lesson
| C6 = | 12! |
| 6!7! |
| C6 = | 479001600 |
| (720)(5040) |
| C6 = | 479001600 |
| 3628800 |
C6 = 132
Since this does not equal 256
This is NOT a Catalan number
