  • windows 7 calculator 180! = 2,0089 * 10^329

  • @ZxIOnline

    79: 7+9=16, 7*9=63, 16+63=79

    19: 1+9=10, 1*9=9, 10+9=19

    379: 37+9=46, 37*9=333, 46+333=379

    the magic number is 9 and this is only because we calculate in decimal system!:)

  • I'm sorry, but... Seriously? The number is interesting because your shitty CALCULATOR can't handle it?

  • I discovered this by myself in 8th grade algebra like last month, it's epic to see that it meant something.
