The Number of the Beast (666)

123 + 456 + 78 + 9

9 + 87 + 6 + 543 + 21

2^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 + 7^2 + 11^2 + 13^2 + 17^2
first seven primes

1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 + 6^3 + 5^3 + 4^3 + 3^3 + 2^3 + 1^3




Product of sums = Sum of Products



Take a sum of two squares: .2^2+3^2\:=\:13

Take a sum of two squares: .4^2+5^2 \:=\:41

Their product, 13\cdot41 \:=\:533, can be expressed
as the sum of two squares in two ways.

533 \:=\:2^2 + 23^2 \:=\:7^2 + 22^2


This is due to a remarkable identity:

(a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2) \;=\;\begin{array}{c}(ac+bd)^2 + (ad-bc)^2 \\ \\[-4mm] (ad+bc)^2 + (ac-bd)^2 \end{array}

The 7 - 11 - 13 trick.

Pick any 3 digit number. (ex. 123)

Multiply by 7

Then, multiply that answer by 11

Then multiply that answer by 13

Result: 123123
