Getting the maximum and the minimum with now

In summary, finding the maximum and minimum values in a given set of data or circumstances at the current moment is known as "getting the maximum and minimum with now". This is important for scientists to understand the range and variability of their data in order to make informed decisions and draw accurate conclusions. Scientists can use various statistical methods and tools to determine these values. However, the maximum and minimum values can change over time, and it is necessary for scientists to regularly reassess and update them to ensure the accuracy of their findings. There may also be limitations to determining these values, such as incomplete or biased data, human error, or unexpected changes in the data, which should be addressed when interpreting results.

In the following cryptarithmetic equation, each of the x’s represent a decimal digit, whether same or different, and “NOW” represents a three digit positive integer with no leading zero. Each of N, O and W represent a decimal digit, whether same or different.

(N O W) * (N O W)
= (x x x x x x N O W)/1983

What are the respective minimum value and the maximum value of “NOW”?

There are three values of NOW that satisfy the equation:
272: 272 * 272 == 146710272 / 1983
375: 375 * 375 == 278859375 / 1983
647: 647 * 647 == 830101647 / 1983
272 is the minimum and 647 is the maximum.
This was found by brute force.

Also found by Brute Force:
There are three solutions:
n=2 o=7 w=2 => now*now*1983=146710272
n=3 o=7 w=5 => now*now*1983=278859375
n=6 o=4 w=7 => now*now*1983=830101647

Thus, the minimum value for now is 272 and the maximum is 647.
 

1. What does it mean to get the maximum and minimum with now?

The phrase "getting the maximum and minimum with now" refers to finding the highest and lowest values in a given set of data or circumstances, at the current moment.

2. Why is it important to determine the maximum and minimum with now?

Determining the maximum and minimum values allows scientists to understand the range and variability of their data, helping them make informed decisions and draw accurate conclusions.

3. How can scientists determine the maximum and minimum with now?

Scientists can use various statistical methods and tools, such as graphs, charts, and calculations, to determine the maximum and minimum values in their data.

4. Can the maximum and minimum values change over time?

Yes, the maximum and minimum values can change over time as new data is collected or circumstances change. It is important for scientists to regularly reassess and update these values to ensure the accuracy of their findings.

5. Are there any limitations to determining the maximum and minimum with now?

Yes, there may be limitations to determining the maximum and minimum values, such as incomplete or biased data, human error in calculations, or unexpected changes in the data. It is important for scientists to acknowledge and address these limitations when interpreting their results.
