Hello,

I've been wondering if there is any way to keep track of the divisibility tree. For instance, 5+5=10, and 1+4=5 and 2+3=5 hence 1+4+2+3=10. Now hypothetically, I know that '1' occurs at location 2, '4' occurs at location 1, '2' occurs at location 4 and '3' occurs at location 1 and they all are originating form root '10'. Is it possible to keep track of the four numbers and their locations just by having the number 10?

What does "[number] occurs at location x" mean?
What does all this have to do with divisibility (10=2*5)?

For instance, 5+5=10, and 1+4=5 and 2+3=5 hence 1+4+2+3=10.
But also 5+5=10, and 2+3=5 and 1+4=5 hence 2+3+1+4=10.
And 4+6=10 and 2+2=4 and 1+5=6 hence 2+2+1+5=10.
This is in no way unique unless you add some more conditions how you want to do that.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
