1 | Why does everything happen in thirds? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ray | 23056 | ||
Hi Nay, I was looking at numbers the other day even though I hate math. I divided 111,222,333,444,555,666,777,888,and 999 by three and they all came out without a fraction. You tell me. Why does that happen? Later, Ray |

Personal Note .................................... This is actually less of a coincidence than it at first appears. All numbers whose digits add to a multiple of three are evenly divisible by three. (ie. 45's digits add to 9 and 45 is evenly divisible (3 X 15)). Because of this, all of the numbers you tried (111, 222, 333, 444, etc.) must also be divisible by three. This is simply because they are all three digit numbers where all digits are the same. Thus when the digits are added together they are all multiples of 3 (times whatever digit it is). |

Hi Sir Pent, Like I have said; I am no mathmetician. The information about the digits being added together was new to me and I appreciate it. That makes the discussion on the "Jesus and 888" thread of more interest since the Greek word "Iesous" has a numerical value of 888. I noticed tonight that Christ is not divided. The Greek word Christos has a numerical value of 1480 so adding the digits brings a total that is not divisible by three. I am not a mathmetician; can you tell me who the "father" of math is? Later, Ray |

Personal Note ................................... Dear Ray, I wish I could help you more, but I too am limited in my mathematical knowledge. I haven't taken a math class since way back in High School. However, I'll tell you what I know. As for the "father of math", I guess in one sense the answer would be God. He deffinately created a universe which contains many mathematical properties. As for the first human being that I am aware of that did much work with math, it would be Pythagoras (c.575 - c.500 BC) "Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher and mathematician, best known for working out the 'Pythagorean Theorem' stating that the square of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Pythagoras was born on the island of Samos, migrated to southern Italy, and established a school at Croton. Pythagoras taught that the order of the world was to be discovered with the aid of mathematics, physics, acoustics and astronomy. His famed saying was 'all is number' meaning that all existing things can be ultimately reduced to number relationships. His mystical teaching accepted the migration of souls."

Hi Sir Pent, Thank you for your note and interesting information. The 'all is number' idea is interesting and ahead of his time when we think of the techology of today. But, as you say, God is the father of all things. Later, Ray | ||||||
