Characteristic of number 37
If we multiply 37 by 3, we will get 111.

Factors: (The number can be divided by)

If the number is an even number, it has a factor of 2. Example: 34 If the sum of all the digits is a multiple of 3 then the number has a factor of 3. Example: 324, because 3 + 2 + 4 = 9 which is a multiple of 3, Then we know 324 has a factor of 3. If the last (right most) digit is 2 or 6, the next to the last digit is an odd number then this number has a factor of 4. If the last digit is 0, 4, or 8, the next to the last digit is an even number then the number has a factor of 4. You can also tell by multiplying 5 twice to see if the resulting number has 2 zeros at the end. If the last digit of the number is 0 or 5, then this number has a factor of 5. If the number is an even number and the sum of all digits of this number is a multiple of 3, then this number has a factor of 6. Let X be the product of the last digit and 2, discard the last digit and minus X. Repeat the above until the resulting number is small enough. If the resulting number is zero or multiple of 7, this number has a factor of 7. Example: 2471, step 1: 1 x 2 = 2, step 2: discard the last digit of 2471 which is 247, Step 3: use 247 to minus 2, the resulting number is 245. (Since we still can not tell if 245 has a factor of 7 we continue on) Repeat the steps, 5 x 2 = 10, discard the last digit of 245 which is 24, use 24 to minus 10, the resulting number is 14 which is a multiple of 7. Then we can determine that this original number has a factor of 7. Use the last 3 digit as a number, divide this number by 2 three times. If the result is a whole number then the original number has a factor of 8. If the sum of all the digits is a multiple of 9 then the number has a factor of 9. Example: 182736, 1 + 8 + 2 + 7 + 3 + 6 = 27 which is

a multiple of 9. Therefore, 182736 has a factor of 9. If the last digit of the number is 0, then this number has a factor of 10. Use the sum of all odd position single digits to minus the sum of all even position single digits. If the result is a multiple of 11, then the original number has a factor of 11. Example: 350834, the sum of all odd position single digits is 4 + 8 + 5 = 17 (from right to left), for all even position digits, the sum is 3 + 0 + 3 = 6. Since 17 - 6 = 11 is a multiple of 11, the original number has a factor of 11.

Pythagorean Theorem

If there is a 90 degree angle in the triangle, then is true. Where a and b are the 90 degree sides and c is the slant side. Example 1: For this special case, (3 x 3 - 1) / 2 = 4 and (3 x 3 + 1) / 2 = 5 (5 - 4) x (5 + 4) = 3 x 3 Example 2: For this special case, (5 x 5 - 1) / 2 = 12 and (5 x 5 + 1) / 2 = 13 (13 - 12) x (13 + 12) = 5 x 5 Example 3: For this special case, (12 x 12) / 4 - 1 = 35 and (12 x 12) / 4 + 1 = 37 (37 - 35) x (37 + 35) = 12 x 12
