say, can you cite (prefably from a book) an intersting mathmatical fact about 124000? Numerao 16:09, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I see you are a fan of the number pages. Most of the "interesting mathematical facts" that appear on the number pages are mathematical coincidences that arise because of the law of small numbers. In other words, pick any two digit number and if you play around with its digits in enough different ways, and in enough different bases, you can almost certainly find a way to get any other two digit number.

As I'm sure you've noticed, the wiki "(number)" pages start getting sparser and sparser as the size of the numbers increases. That is, informally speaking, the law of small numbers at work. It is harder and harder to find mathematical coincidences that work with larger numbers.

124000 is meant to be kind of a sister page to 144000. Both of them have religious significance, but neither page highlights any particular mathematical significance of the numbers. Of course 144,000 in base 10 is a three-digit perfect square followed by another one, but that observation is so trivial it wouldn't be worth posting on the page.

oooooooooookaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy...

so how's 144 | phi(144) a mathmatical coincidence? or that its a fibonacci number? Numerao 23:20, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

From the definition of coincidence. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that these coincidental facts are uninteresting. Indeed, it is precisely their coincidental nature which makes them interesting. All I'm saying is that it becomes harder and harder to find such coincidences for larger and larger numbers. As a mathematical object, 124000 is probably no more noteworthy than is 124001 or 123999, and doesn't deserve its own wiki entry. It is only the religious significance that makes 124000 noteworthy.
