- [[29]] is [[drishti]] in the #Flancia [[Pattern Language]]. - My hobby, sometimes: think about whether numbers are prime while laying down or sitting. - Take [[209]] -- it is not prime. - I find this one quite beautiful, this is how I got there: - It is not multiple of two or five trivially. - It is not a multiple of three as its digits don't add up to a multiple. - It is not a multiple of 7 because 210 is (as 21 is 3 * 7) and it's too near. - Consider the hypothesis that it is multiple of 11. - 220 is a multiple of 11 because 22 is. - 220 - 11 is 209. - So 209 is a multiple of 11. What is the other factor? - Consider the hypothesis that it is a multiple of 19. - 19 * 10 is 190. - 190 + 19 is 209 precisely, so it is a multiple. - Therefore 209 is 11 * 19. - [[1547]] is not prime; it is 7 * 13 * 17. - I got to this one by whistling a 1547 tone, seeing it in [[spectroid]], then checking https://anagora.org/prime/1547 :)
