You always thought it was cool how 2 and 2 make the same number whether added or multiplied, and if there were any other numbers that did the same thing. Well, 1.2 and 6, amirite?

I do think it's cool how 6 and 1.2 do it.

Why is this getting "No way"ed?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

i think it is because of the way it's worded.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Because I don't think it's cool.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Because not everyone is cool

by Anonymous 13 years ago

yea but they're not the same D:

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I think OP meant to say 1, 2, and 3, as it is the same if multiplied or added.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

OP is saying that 6 + 1.2 = 6 x 1.2

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Oh wait, I didn't notice that xD. But 1+2+3=1x2x3

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Um... 1 x 1 does not equal 1 + 1. Just sayin.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

1+2+3=6 and 1x2x3=6

It's getting no way'd because no one cares.

I just don't think it is that cool

This works for any pair such that Y = X/(X-1). Just plug in an X and get the Y that goes with it. e.g. 3.5, 1.4 2, 2 3, 1.5 4, 4/3 5, 5/4 6, 1.2 11, 1.1 etc...

Now THAT is interesting !

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That's pretty damn cool.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Damn, you beat me to it: XY = X+Y XY-Y = X (X-1)Y = X Y = X/(X-1) ...Just felt I needed to prove it or something...

Hey. You could've made your own post. You didn't have to ruin mine in the comments section. Asshole

Y = X/(X-1) so Y = 1/0 so 1+1 = undefined and 1*1 = undefined

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Y = X/(X-1) X = 1 Y = undefined 1*undefined = 1+undefined undefined - undefine = 1 0 = 1

it must suck having no friends

by Anonymous 12 years ago

interesting thought... if one could trade basic mathematical abilities for the ability to have so many friends that one could afford to make dickish comments at everybody else, I'd probably still turn down the offer... different strokes for different folks, I guess!!

How about 2^2 that's also four. Is any other number able to do that!?

If you simplify 3I < 9U. You get I <3 U :)
