Product Information

Forty-two is a Catalan number. These numbers are extremely rare, much more so than prime numbers: only 14 of the former are lower than one billion. Catalan numbers were first mentioned, under another name, by Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler, who wanted to know how many different ways an n-sided convex polygon could be cut into triangles by connecting vertices with line segments. The beginning of the sequence ( A000108 in OEIS) is 1, 1, 2, 5, 14, 42, 132.... The nth element of the sequence is given by the formula c( n) = (2 n)! / ( n!( n + 1)!). And like the two preceding sequences, the density of numbers is null at infinity. The author’s choice of the number 42 has become a fixture of geek culture. It’s at the origin of a multitude of jokes and winks exchanged between initiates. If, for example, you ask your search engine variations of the question “What is the answer to everything?” it will most likely answer “42.” Try it in French or German. You’ll often get the same answer whether you use Google, Qwant, Wolfram Alpha (which specializes in calculating mathematical problems) or the chat bot Web app Cleverbot. This sum of three cubes puzzle, first set in 1954 at the University of Cambridge and known as the Diophantine Equation x 3+y 3+z 3=k, challenged mathematicians to find solutions for numbers 1-100. With smaller numbers, this type of equation is easier to solve: for example, 29 could be written as 3 3 + 1 3 + 1 3, while 32 is unsolvable. All were eventually solved, or proved unsolvable, using various techniques and supercomputers, except for two numbers: 33 and 42.

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty-two centimeters is approximately sixteen point five three five inches: Ancient Tibet had 42 rulers. Nyatri Tsenpo, who reigned around 127 B.C., was the first. And Langdarma, who ruled from 836 to 842 A.D. (i.e., the 42nd year of the ninth century), was the last. Everyone loves unsolved mysteries. Examples include Amelia Earhart’s disappearance over the Pacific in 1937 and the daring escape of inmates Frank Morris and John and Clarence Anglin from Alcatraz Island in California in 1962. Moreover our interest holds even if the mystery is based on a joke. Take author Douglas Adams’s popular 1979 science-fiction novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the first in a series of five. Toward the end of the book, the supercomputer Deep Thought reveals that the answer to the “Great Question” of “Life, the Universe and Everything” is “forty-two.”To calculate an inch value to the corresponding value in centimeters, just multiply the quantity in inches by 2.54 (the conversion factor). Inches to centimeters formulae An infinite set of solutions is also known for n = 2. It was discovered in 1908 by mathematician A. S. Werebrusov. For any integer p: For the sum of cubes, some solutions may be surprisingly large, such as the one for 156, which was discovered in 2007: In other words, the cube of an integer modulo 9 is –1 (= 8), 0 or 1. Adding any three numbers among these numbers gives: We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 inch is equal to 0.06047619047619 × 42 centimeters.

The method of using Charity Engine is similar to part of the plot surrounding the number 42 in the "Hitchhiker" novel: After Deep Thought’s answer of 42 proves unsatisfying to the scientists, who don’t know the question it is meant to answer, the supercomputer decides to compute the Ultimate Question by building a supercomputer powered by Earth … in other words, employing a worldwide massively parallel computation platform. An alternative is also that one inch is approximately zero point zero six times forty-two centimeters. Conversion table centimeters to inches chartMultiplication Table is an useful table to remember to help you learn multiplication by 42. You should also practice the examples given because the best way to learn is by doing, not memorizing. Online Practice You cannot get a sum of 4 or 5 (= –4). This restriction means that sums of three cubes are never numbers of the form 9 m + 4 or 9 m + 5. We thus say that n = 9 m + 4 and n = 9 m + 5 are prohibited values. Searching for Solutions Since the first such school was created in France in 2013 there has been a proliferation of private computer-training institutions in the “42 Network,” whose name is a clear allusion to Adams’s novels. Today the founding company counts more than 15 campuses in its global network. The number 42 also appears in different forms in the film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Many other references and allusions to it can be found, for example, in the Wikipedia entry for “42 (number).”

The factor 2.54 is the result from the division 1 / 0.393701 (centimeter definition). Therefore, another way would be:Catalan numbers are named after Franco-Belgian mathematician Eugène Charles Catalan (1814–1894), who discovered that c( n) is the number of ways to arrange n pairs of parentheses according to the usual rules for writing them: a parenthesis is never closed before it has been opened, and one can only close it when all the parentheses that were subsequently opened are themselves closed.
