@St_Rev@byrneseyeview This is one of my favorite little math tricks, especially because for very large numbers you can repeat the process. -
@GrumplessGrinch@byrneseyeview Right, and it's also valid for any power of 3 as long as you don't overshoot. -
@GrumplessGrinch@byrneseyeview wait shoot that might not be true. it's true for 9 though. yeah ignore me, just 9. -
@St_Rev@byrneseyeview yeah, 54 doesn't sum to 27 :/ -
@GrumplessGrinch@byrneseyeview Saying it the other way around. But 3333333321 sums to 27 but isn't divisible by it. See I am dumb
