@ost000101 142857^4=416491461893377757601

416+491461+893377+757601=21428­55=142857*15

Only works using base ten counting system.. So the is nothing inherently special about it in a natural sense. Ie, we made up our base ten counting system. Things like binary, pi and phi are natural things we discovered, base ten counting system came from us have ten digit.

There's only one problem with 142857 and the law of seven, you ignore the law of three. If you did not ignore it you would realize that the third colum, or the 5/7 fraction, is the true number as it links directly to the solfeggio scale and the Rodin Coil. As trevor J Ward pointed out it takes 2 frequencies, that of the Pan flute, to create 999.

As for the Ennead, the 3 goes in the apex.

I hope you enjoyed your lesson.

Thanks to this number, you can calculate any division by 7 out of your head. Considering 1/7 = 0.142857142857repeat. That also explains why you get 999,999 when you multiply the nummer by 7. You mis the repeating part to get the 1.

The Greeks also used 22/7 as an approach to pi (3.142857repeat)

Also strange about this nummber: 14 + 28 + 57 = 99

 142 + 857 = 999

@JorinKersten reducing to simple digits: 1+4+2+8+5+7 = 27, 2+7 = 9

numbers amaze

@rbridgeman 27= 3cube

Same with 1 or 0 lol

A curious figure you can form after you compare it with "124875", Try to connect the numbers with curves. 1 to 4, 4 to 2, 2 to 8, 8 to 5, 7 to the next 1.

this is only 1 of the 100s of many secrets I've fund on this #, I've also found a 8, 15, 22, 29, 56, 43, 50 pattern, and 1/7 pattern and many more lol

I read about this on my own in my math book when I was in 6th grade. When I asked my teacher about it, she basically told me to shut up.

lol, your teacher must be hiding something...

142857 is the most fun and elegant of a class

of numbers which appear as repetends of

maximum length of 1/p where p is prime.

Another, albeit more unwieldy but also

a 'cyclic' number is 0588235294117647; note

the leading zero. Multiply this by any

whole # 1 thru 16 to show different parts

of it 'spliced.' If you like all nines,

multiply that by 17.

It is expressed as the combination of the law of three and the law of seven, that is the enneagram.

My favorite number sice a Math teacher show it to me twenty years ago. I love this number. Thanks for posting this.
