About LinkBacksI like the numero uno.
1+0=1
1+1=2
but,
1+0=1
and
1+2+3+4=10
This is a discussion on Numero Uno. within the Mathematics forums, part of the Science category; I like the numero uno. 1+0=1 1+1=2 but, 1+0=1 and 1+2+3+4=10...
Numero Uno. I like the numero uno.
1+0=1
1+1=2
but,
1+0=1
and
1+2+3+4=10

Re: Numero Uno. This subject was looking lonely - so I added some numbers.

Re: Numero Uno. Yes, numbers are important.
10 x 10 = 100
(10 - 1) x (10 + 1) = 99
Numbers can be weird sometimes too.

Re: Numero Uno. Why is anything divided by 0 = to 0? I remember when I first learned division, they taught it to me like this:
"Imagine you have 10 cookies and want to divide them into 2 equal groups. That leaves you with 5 cookies per group. 10/2=5."
So I always wondered what happens to the cookies when you divide them into zero equal groups.You should still have those cookies left over, did they vanish?
And what's the deal with 1/3? Splitting into 3.3333333...% Shifty fraction right there.

Re: Numero Uno. Look up the origin of the word "irrational".

Re: Numero Uno. Kiefer,So I always wondered what happens to the cookies when you divide them into zero equal groups.
a/0 is considered meaningless in most real mathematics. The hypothetical cookies you mention would never be "divided" into zero groups. Zero groups really has no meaning.
What I think is even more strange is that the 10 cookies when "multiplied" by zero disappear...10 x 0 = 0.
Lots of fun, eh? Actually that's just a fantasy too. One would never "actually" multiply by zero. It's pointless. The equation still has meaning in other circumstances such a 10 empty nests equals zero eggs.
Even Einstein made the mistake of dividing by zero, or so I've read. His first wife use to do all his complicated math for him, but after the divorce he didn't have her around to help him out. Or so it has been rumoured.
Re: Numero Uno. Skeptical.
It means that "Zero" is a magic number.
If it can make 10 cookies disappear.
Or it is a very hungry number. Like the number 8.
(or at least it sounds hungry when spoken)
