  • how do you do the division thing if the numbers are uneven

  • @sharpezor do you mean if the number doesn't divide exactly? say 1076/25? then their would be a remainder of 1, that is 1/25, or .04

    there's some more complex examples in pt. 2 but it's a bit tedious and there are also a couple af flaws in it.

  • This is how math was done in Ancient west African societies even to the present day. Just like he mentioned the Chinese using this in the Yi Ching, so too was this the basis of divination in Ifa, an ancient African religion related to Ancient Egypt.

    The difference being they use this system to codify observations of the workings of reality not for making iPads.

  • @mothnrust I've included work by Michael as link to I Ching many times, but most don't get it. We have deep integer to binary relationship in the whole construct that fits wrk by Rodin, Powell etc = unless they have integer to binary key there's no balance/symmetry. They just included 124875 = 1248,16,32,64 to 512 etc, but further ventures into Magic Squares and Solfeggio + 6 and 111 math = copyrights + credits that 'World Savors' seem unwilling to give + in many ways the crossed line. We share.

  • @boody19 Oh: I am. Heil obama!

  • thankyou very much for giving me this chance to do well in maths :)
