Its interesting how we subconciously see numbers as "more or less prime" despite not knowing mathematically why

[@mrosskne]

what do you mean? we know why

[@subscheme]

@@mrosskne Yes, but one who doesn’t know mathematically why the interesting thing is that they still see numbers as more or less prime.

[@wpbn5613]

​​@@mrosskne mathematicians or people with knowledge about number theory can articulate how some numbers are more "composite" than others. but people with no mathematical knowledge can still have a vague intuition that, for example, 22 is more "prime" than 20, but they won't know why they feel that way

[@MrBrineplays_]

​@@wpbn5613I think it's because we are taught that anything with a 0 at the end is divisible by 10. This makes a number feel "full". 0 is also shaped like a circle and is symmetric. 2, 4, 6, and 8 don't feel like primes because we can split them in half, 5 because it's half of 10, 3 because it's seen everywhere, 9 because it can be split to 3. 7 feels odd because it's not 2 or 4 or 6 or 8, it's also not seen as common as any other number, and it's weird when counted. It's not between 0 and 10, it's between 5 and 10. It's also the only single digit number (excluding 0) that has two syllables.

Very interesting video! Here are a few of my favorite interesting facts about sums of divisors: 1. Euler found a pretty amazing recursion for σ(n): σ(n)=σ(n-1)+σ(n-2)-σ(n-5)-σ(n-7)+σ(n-12)+σ(n-15)-σ(n-22)-σ(n-26)+..., where the signs are +,+,-,-,+,+,-,-, etc. the numbers 1,2,5,7,... are pentagonal numbers, and we count σ(0) as n if n is a pentagonal number. This comes from his pentagonal number theorem, and a very similar recursion is also valid for the partition function p(n) (the only difference being that p(0) is counted as 1, not n as in the case of σ). 2. The Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to σ(n)5040, where γ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant. 3. A number satisfying σ(n)=2n+1 is called "quasiperfect", but none are known to exist. It's known that if any do exist, they must be odd squares larger than 10^35.

This explains why I've always liked 2, 5, and 7. I "hate" 3, and 11 is bigger than 10, so i have a more neutral opinion about it. I used to explain it as. 1² + 1 = 2 2² + 1 = 5 2 + 5 = 7 3² + 1 = 10 = 2 × 5 (i like base 10 more than bases divisible by 3) 7² + 1 = 50 = 2 × 5 × 5 = 5² + 5²

[@andrewpinedo1883]

1:58 What a coincidence. A few weeks ago, I thought of a metric to quantify exactly this. I referred to it as imeness. Every multiplication by a prime number increases the imeness by 1, and every division by a prime number decreases the imeness by 1. That was how I extended the notion of imeness to any rational quantity on the positive side of the number line. Then I made the adjectival forms by using pseudo-Greek prefixes followed by -prime, using biprime instead of semiprime. I can now confidently say that one is a nullaprime, and zero is a negapeiroprime.

[@slawless9665]

There's another type of "high abundance" that probably has another established name already but I like to call "highly heterogeneous" numbers, the smallest number with the most UNIQUE prime factors. The method for generating them makes them maybe too easy to be interesting; they are 2, 2x3=6, 2x3x5=30, 2x3x5x7=210, etc., but I was looking at numbers in different systems and I found the highly heterogeneous numbers themselves very interesting. The pattern for generating them is still the same, simply take the prime with the lowest magnitude that isn't yet a factor, and throw it into the list of factors. In Eisenstein numbers this is 2+ω, 4+2ω, 10+2ω, 28+14ω, 98+28ω, . . . (and each of them have 5 or 11 associates). I don't know why but they just feel more interesting to me.

[@Swagpion]

14:25 Legendre is definetly true. As the distence beteen 2 neighboring perfect squares gets increaingly big. Granted its only by 2 more each pair, but it does add up over time. Twin is probably true, given how primes can only exist agencent to multiples of 6. And all 4 possibilites (both are prime, +1 is prime, -1 is prime, and neither are prime) would probably happen infinietly with infiniet numbers, there should be infinite twin primes. Im not sure about Goldbach's though. As we would need to check every even number to see if any even numbers bigger than 2 arent the possible sum of 2 primes.

[@btf_flotsam478]

The average difference between primes also grows, and there's infinitely many pairs of square numbers that could have no primes between them. By the way, very similar evidence exists for either of them being true, and it is widely believed they both are.
