let A_i be an odd integer, s_i be the square of a_i and t_i be the triangular number, (s_i -1)/8. Same for a_j , s_j, t_j, etc. Define Multiplication of n X A_i , etc to be n * s_i - t_j and division to be the reverse of this process. I found that
n X A_i X A_j X A_k = n X A_k X A_j X A_i = n X A_j X A_k X A_i etc.
for instance ((((4 * 9 - 1)*49 - 6)*25 -3) + 1) / 9 = (4*25-3)*49-6 = (4*49-6) * 25 - 3 = B
8*4-1 = 31 and 8*B - 1 = 31*25*49
Is there a simple way to prove this general result?
