Another way to think about the 1,000,000 OEIS fact: say you have 36 equally spaced points on a circle. You want to select some of them so that their center of mass is the center of the circle. How many ways can you do it? Numberphile made a video on this, phrasing it in terms of centrifuges, if I remember right. If you spin a centrifuge whose center of mass is off-center, bad things happen (it breaks probably?). Your centrifuge has 36 slots around its edge. How many ways can you fill them in? (This phrasing also makes it easier to explain why we count the empty configuration - otherwise, I'm pretty sure you only get 999,999.)

Don't worry, jan, I consider you a member of the black-background-video-format-Tubers because they are a dying breed that is worth reviving for the sheer simplicity. Also, while I'm on topic, my fave number over 10^6 is probably gonna be 10^12 not because of any particular maths, but because of Chinese characters, specifically the character 兆 (zhào), and its history. See, there used to be an obscure debate over the definition of this character's numerical value (it has multiple meanings depending on context) during the era when the Communist and the Nationalist Parties split between mainland China and Taiwan. While there were many kinds of casualties, one of them was a strict definition of this character. To this day, in China the character is defined to be a "million," while in Taiwan, who was prone to following certain Japanese traditions due to their strong allied affiliation with Japan at the time, has defined it as a "trillion." I grew up in America, but most of my Chinese teachers here were from Taiwan, so they adhered to said system. So, when I'd later come to read texts from mainland China (outside of my studies with them because there was still this strange stigma around using mainland Chinese texts back in the 90s for reasons I can't comprehend) that used this character as a number, it'd usually throw me into a tizzy when I'd translate the numbers wrong, especially in regards to the alleged counts of army rations during certain ancient historic wartime stories. There's a huge difference between several "millions" of kg of grain and several "trillions" of kg of grain, and it subtly skewed the direction of people's motives if the translation was wrong. (Then again, usually those numbers came into play talking about how much the peasants lost during wartime, rather than what they demanded after loss.) While I'd easily be able to correct for context, it always stuck around in my head that this character had undergone such a strange transition in history. That aside, 兆 is generally not specifically defined as a numerical value and can simply be described as "a myriad"... On that note, the word "myriad" also has an interesting history to look into, but that's a whole 'nother story.

Alternative solution: axiomatically define 720,720 as greater than 1,000,000.

The absolute best thing about this video, by far, is talking about how strange it is that 1,000,000 is the cutoff point for two minutes and then finally going "My favorite is 720,720"

I'm trying to figure out the naming convention for the bases at 4:12. I've managed to figure out that the number of the base is decomposed into it's prime factors. Those factors are then grouped to produce different prefixes and infixes in the name. Each group has one form for the prefix and another, unrelated form for when it is the last root in the name. What I can't figure out, however is how the prime factors are grouped, as the grouping seems arbitrary. Also, I can't find an explanation for the order in which the prefixes are ordered. Examples: ... 420: icosi-tri-septimal = 20×3×7 840: icosi-hexa-septimal = 20×6×7 2520: feta-heptagesimal = 36×70 27720: deca-leva-hepta-niftimal = 10×11×7×36 55440: lev-icosi-hepta-niftimal = 11×20×7×36 83160: hepta-feta-leva-penta-seximal = 7×36×11×5×6 110880: leva-tetra-hepta-deca-niftimal = 11×4×7×10×36 138600: deca-feta-leva-penta-septimal = 10×11×36×5×7 ... 720720: icosi-feta-baker-hept-elevenary = 20×36×13×7×11 If anyone can find the way the prime factors are grouped and the way the prefixes are ordered, please do.

while I do have an explanation of my system, I think it might be more fun if you try to figure out more of it before getting the answer. here's a link to a list of the first unexian (6^4) base names, with a link on top to the explanation of the system once you think you've figured it out. it explains everything, except for the abbreviations and the details of what order roots go in, which also happen to be the most complicated parts of the system. have fun! www.seximal.net/a-bunch-of-base-names

9 months later: the ordering and grouping is because it's 720*1001 = (20*36)(13*77) = 20*36*13*(7*11), and it doesn't break down into the even closer 840*858 (tetraheptapentahexabibakertrielevenary?) because that involves more pieces (heptagesimal is counted as two pieces because it's hepta-gesimal but vigesimal is only one)

In Britain, a pound was worth 240 pence until 1971. The reason is because 240 is highly composite, and Brits were deeply familiar with the factors of 240 for that reason, which is the same reason that anyone who uses dollars is deeply familiar with the idea that a dollar contains 20 nickels and 4 quarters. There was clear usefulness to it.
