73 over 2 is 36 remainder 1

36 over 2 is 18 remainder 0

18 over 2 is 9 remainder 0

9 over 2 is 4 remainder 1

4 over 2 is 2 remainder 0 2 over 2 is 1 remainder 0 1 over 2 is 0  remainder 1

Thus 1001001

i cant like this comment because it will throw off the balance

[Kaling Kalar]

is it over 9000?

[Kaling Kalar]

Hows that algorithm called?

Id have done it with 73-64=9 => one "64s"=2^6s and 9= 2^3+2^0

=> one 2^6 one 2^3 and one 2^0 => 1001001 but yours seems more effective^^

[Stephen Harris]

Fixed it haha

[Chad Spugnardi]

Too late now! Muahahahahaha!

24 is the highest number anyway

Sheldon rocks!!

So basically 73 is the 21st Prime number, it's reverse (37) is the 12th prime number, and if you reverse THAT you get 21 again, which is the product of 7 and 3. 73 in binary is a palindrome: 1001001 and 73 in Morse Code is ALSO a Palindrome: --... ...-- This episode is also the 73rd episode of TBBT (which is also a palindrome if anybody asks)
