Show AWonder in Figures.. Some person of a mathematical turn of mind has discovered that the multiplication multi-plication of SST654S21 (which you will observe aro simply the figures 1 to 9, inclusive, reversed) by 43 gives 41,441," 444,443. Reversing the-order of the digits and multiplying 123436789 by 45 we get a result Equally curious, viz., 5,555,553,503. If we take 12345C789 as the multiplicand and Interchanging the flgnres in 45 so as to make them read 51 use the last number e.s a multiplier Bnd the result will be 6,666,656,600. Returning to the multiplicand 987651-321 987651-321 and taking 54 as the multiplisr agaln, the result will be 53,333,333,334 all 3s except the first and last flgnres which together read 54 the multiplier. Taking the same m-ultiplicand and 27, the half of 54, as the multiplier, the pro" duct is 26,065,660,067, all 0s except the first and last figures, which together read 27 the multiplier. Now interchanging inter-changing the order of the figures 27 and using 72 instead as a multiplier and 987854321 as the multiplicand we get as a product 71,111,111,112, all Is except the first and last figures, which together read 72, the multiplier Philadelphia Press. |
