Show the figure nine this is a j figure with which numerous trick may he be performed not to mention the fact that the fundamental rules of arithmetic are proved by the figure 9 there are among others ot r the following lowing fo curiosities c with the figure add together as many nines as aa you please pleas and tile the figures ludi indicating cating tile amount when added together will be 9 or 9 repeated the true in multiplying auy any number nf f times i the sum of the figures figure in th product will be 9 or gra a number of nines for instance twice 9 are 18 1 and 8 are 9 three times 9 arp are 27 2 and 7 are 9 four throes cimpi 9 tre 36 3 and aare 6 are 9 and so on until we come to I 1 11 I 1 times 9 are 99 here we have 2 nines or 18 but I 1 and 8 are 9 twelve times 9 are 1 and 0 and 8 are 9 the curious student may carry this on still further for amusement A nother another curiosity is exhibited in these dif different Terent products of the 9 when multiplied multiply d bv the d digits its as follows the prod products acts being 18 2736 za 4 ac Q reverse e these and behave we have the remaining products 54 63 I 1 the nine digits 1 3 2 7 8 9 when added amounts to 5 times 9 or instead of adding multiply multiple the figure by the last hist and the i amount will be the mysterious 9 or 45 and 4 and 5 are 9 1 once more let the digits as written be and we have 9 ones and of course 9 once more or let the upper series of numbers be subtracted from the under 1 add the he figures of the difference and once more we have the 5 nines or 45 or 9 we will now multiply the same figures by 9 9 and we have bave nine ones again or 9 |
