And in the mysterious number found in the pyramid, 142857 in the calculation, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are divided into 7, they are all infinitely cyclic decimals, for example:
1÷7=0.1428571
2÷7=0.2857142
3÷7=0.4285714
4÷7=0.5714285
5÷7=0.7142857
6÷7=0.8571428
Looking at the results of the above calculations, we find a lot of interesting points:
1. The cyclic section of the decimal part is in the 7th place.
2. The numbers in the decimal part will not change, but the position will be exchanged.
3. Multiples of 7 that are not multiples of 7 add up to multiples of 7, for example:
1+2+3+4+5+6=21
36+37+38+39+40+41=231
8+9+10+11+12+13=63
Go on...
Let's take this mysterious number obtained by dividing 7 points by 1 part and multiply it from 1 to 6.
142857*1=142857
142857*2=285714
142857*3=428571
142857*4=571428
142857*5=714285
142857*6=857142
The same number, just reversed, appears over and over again. So how much is multiplying it by 7?
What we will be surprised to find is 999999
And 142 + 857 = 999
14+28+57=99,
Finally, we 142857 multiply and 142857
The answer is: 20408122449
What is the number of the first five digits plus the last six?
20408+122449=142857
There are no heptopods or insects in nature, but there are horse chestnut plants; However, it must be a plant with head leaves and leader leaves to have odd leaves such as 7, 9, and 11.
