My favorite number is 8. Though it doesn't seem to have any special significance in Maths, there are two ways that it encompasses even the biggest mega numbers: 1. Turning the number on its side reveals the symbol for infinity, which as a concept would encompass every number in existence. 2. Thanks to digital clock patterns, we can see that 8 contains every single-digit number in the decimal list, which means that 888,888,888 would encompass your favorite meganumber pairing. 3. As a bonus, reversing #2 has been proven through magic tricks to be a useful way to mask a number's value. Simply draw the lines not pertaining to that number and it takes people a while to figure out what you wrote.
...That works with any set of the 10 digits, as long as you put the 0 last? like, 1234567890 is divisible by 10, 9876543210 is divisible by 10, etc. Am I missing something?

A number fails to resist the confrontation of an aggressive divider and dissolves into two equal smaller ones, and an attempt to gather every successful divider together and list them out is then being carried out. The transformation process from a number to a list of "more capable numbers" seems to end, but because of some unknown initiatives and with some unknown purposes, the dividers are being "merged in" to form one new number, eroding their independent state. The formed number seems to be able to compensate for the initial need of the person to withhold one number for a certain goal. The whole process can end right there, but by some reasons, the same "dissolving effort" is then being applied to the newly agglomerated number, perhaps wondering of how it would dissolve into and what the dissolved number list can agglomerate into again at the end. It is surprising to find out that the effort leads back to the original starting number, and what seems to be continuous ongoing processes of deminishing values and process progressing far away from the initial starting point actually brings the numbers back to the starting point. After the capability to return, the dividing purpose and effort can carry on to be made without fearing of deminishing of numbers or defying from the original starting position. And the return is done without additional help from efforts "out of the system".
Here, sigma(n) = the sum of all divisors of the positive integer 'n'. If sigma(a) = sigma(b) = a+b is true, then (a, b) is a pair of amicable numbers. Conjecture: a+b is always a multiple of 9.
The linked paper starts: "An amicable number pair is a pair of numbers, M, N, satisfying σ(M) = M + N = σ(N)" That definition seems completely different from the one in Wikipedia (which is the same as what James said in the video).
σ(N) is the sum of all divisors, including N. Let s(N) be the sum of proper divisors of N. σ(N) = s(N) + N. So σ(N) = M + N is the same as s(N) = M. Both definitions are equivalent.

if you pause during the white flash transition at 2:06 you can get some creepy faces lol
Thanks for this project. It makes me discover toutube mathematicians I didn't know. But I don't see Professor Penn there ;(
Excuse me Mr. Grime, I uploaded a video with MegaFavNumbers in the title and #MegaFavNumbers over a week ago, but it still hasn't been added to the playlist. I created a formula for the video and everything, can you help sort this out perchance?
I saw it's on there now, tysm Mr. Number!
Are there amicable trios? A's divisors sum to B, whose divisors sum to C, whose divisors sum to A?
There are. They are called sociable numbers.
Hi there! I uploaded my video a few days ago, but only today corrected the title - oops. Still have a chance to appear on the list?
Is He the same person as the one I saw in Numberphile?
Sounds like what you said for skewes number.
Can you please share what research you are doing as a mathematician
Also I could not find proof of Dirichlet s infinite prime theorem can you help me
Hit like for James grime our fav.
What about Kunth(Knut) notation with arrows?
Can I pick the first transfinite ordinal as my favourite mega number?
Side note: I find it interesting that amicable numbers (at least in the list you showed) are of the same order of magnitude. Moreover, they are quite close relative to that order of magnitude.
I don't know if this pattern continues, but I don't see an immediately obvious explanation for it.
[947835, 1125765] is an amicable pair
5,318,008. I'm so immature😂
Dont get it bro...
@@cosimobaldi03 If you write it in a seven segments display (like a calculator), and read it upside down, it resembles the word "BOOBIES"
If you care about 3215 the larger ones are 5318008918
