Show numerical properties of 15
We start by listing out divisors for 15
| Divisor | Divisor Math |
|---|---|
| 1 | 15 ÷ 1 = 15 |
| 3 | 15 ÷ 3 = 5 |
| 5 | 15 ÷ 5 = 3 |
Positive or Negative Number Test:
Positive Numbers > 0Since 15 ≥ 0 and it is an integer
15 is a positive number
Whole Number Test:
Positive numbers including 0with no decimal or fractions
Since 15 ≥ 0 and it is an integer
15 is a whole number
Prime or Composite Test:
Since 15 has divisors other than 1 and itself
it is a composite number
Perfect/Deficient/Abundant Test:
Calculate divisor sum D
If D = N, then it's perfect
If D > N, then it's abundant
If D < N, then it's deficient
Divisor Sum = 1 + 3 + 5
Divisor Sum = 9
Since our divisor sum of 9 < 15
15 is a deficient number!
Odd or Even Test (Parity Function):
A number is even if it is divisible by 2
If not divisible by 2, it is odd
| 7.5 = | 15 |
| 2 |
Since 7.5 is not an integer, 15 is not divisible by
it is an odd number
This can be written as A(15) = Odd
Evil or Odious Test:
Get binary expansion
If binary has even amount 1's, then it's evil
If binary has odd amount 1's, then it's odious
15 to binary = 1111
There are 4 1's, 15 is an evil number
Triangular Test:
Can you stack numbers in a pyramid?
Each row above has one item less than the row before it
Using a bottom row of 5 items, 15 forms a triangle
It is a triangular number
Triangular number:
Rectangular Test:
Is there an integer m such that n = m(m + 1)
No integer m exists such that m(m + 1) = 15
15 is not rectangular
Rectangular number:
Automorphic (Curious) Test:
Does n2 ends with n
152 = 15 x 15 = 225
Since 225 does not end with 15
it is not automorphic (curious)
Automorphic number:
Undulating Test:
Do the digits of n alternate in the form abab
Since 15 < 100
We only perform the test on numbers > 99
Square Test:
Is there a number m such that m2 = n?
32 = 9 and 42 = 16 which do not equal 15
Therefore, 15 is not a square
Cube Test:
Is there a number m such that m3 = n
23 = 8 and 33 = 27 ≠ 15
Therefore, 15 is not a cube
Palindrome Test:
Is the number read backwards equal to the number?
The number read backwards is 51
Since 15 <> 51
it is not a palindrome
Palindromic Prime Test:
Is it both prime and a palindrome
From above, since 15 is not both prime and a palindrome
it is NOT a palindromic prime
Repunit Test:
A number is repunit if every digit is equal to 1
Since there is at least one digit in 15 ≠ 1
then it is NOT repunit
Apocalyptic Power Test:
Does 2n contain the consecutive digits 666?
215 = 32768
Since 215 does not have 666
15 is NOT an apocalyptic power
Pentagonal Test:
It satisfies the form:
| n(3n - 1) | |
| 2 |
Check values of 3 and 4
Using n = 4, we have:
| 4(3(4 - 1) | |
| 2 |
| 4(12 - 1) | |
| 2 |
22 ← Since this does not equal 15
this is NOT a pentagonal number
Using n = 3, we have:
| 3(3(3 - 1) | |
| 2 |
12 ← Since this does not equal 15
this is NOT a pentagonal number
Pentagonal number:
Hexagonal Test:
Is there an integer m such that n = m(2m - 1)
The integer m = 3 is hexagonal
Since 3(2(3) - 1) = 15
Hexagonal number:
Heptagonal Test:
Is there an integer m such that:
| m = | n(5n - 3) |
| 2 |
No integer m exists such that m(5m - 3)/2 = 15
Therefore 15 is not heptagonal
Heptagonal number:
Octagonal Test:
Is there an integer m such that n = m(3m - 3)
No integer m exists such that m(3m - 2) = 15
Therefore 15 is not octagonal
Octagonal number:
Nonagonal Test:
Is there an integer m such that:
| m = | n(7n - 5) |
| 2 |
No integer m exists such that m(7m - 5)/2 = 15
Therefore 15 is not nonagonal
Nonagonal number:
Tetrahedral (Pyramidal) Test:
Tetrahederal numbers satisfy the form:
| n(n + 1)(n + 2) | |
| 6 |
Check values of 3 and 4
Using n = 4, we have:
| 4(4 + 1)(4 + 2) | |
| 6 |
20 ← Since this does not equal 15
This is NOT a tetrahedral (Pyramidal) number
Using n = 3, we have:
| 3(3 + 1)(3 + 2) | |
| 6 |
10 ← Since this does not equal 15
This is NOT a tetrahedral (Pyramidal) number
Narcissistic (Plus Perfect) Test:
Is equal to the square sum of it's m-th powers of its digits
15 is a 2 digit number, so m = 2
Square sum of digitsm = 12 + 52
Square sum of digitsm = 1 + 25
Square sum of digitsm = 26
Since 26 <> 15
15 is NOT narcissistic (plus perfect)
Catalan Test:
| Cn = | 2n! |
| (n + 1)!n! |
Check values of 4 and 5
Using n = 5, we have:
| C5 = | (2 x 5)! |
| 5!(5 + 1)! |
Using our factorial lesson
| C5 = | 10! |
| 5!6! |
| C5 = | 3628800 |
| (120)(720) |
| C5 = | 3628800 |
| 86400 |
C5 = 42
Since this does not equal 15
This is NOT a Catalan number
Using n = 4, we have:
| C4 = | (2 x 4)! |
| 4!(4 + 1)! |
Using our factorial lesson
| C4 = | 8! |
| 4!5! |
| C4 = | 40320 |
| (24)(120) |
| C4 = | 40320 |
| 2880 |
C4 = 14
Since this does not equal 15
This is NOT a Catalan number
