Product Information

The factor 2.54 is the result from the division 1 / 0.393701 (centimeter definition). Therefore, another way would be: The problem is stated as follows: What integers n can be written as the sum of three whole-number cubes ( n = a 3 + b 3 + c 3)? And for such integers, how do you find a, b and c ? As a practical matter, the difficulty in making this calculation is that for a given n, the space of the triplets to be considered involves negative integers. This triplet space is therefore infinite, unlike the computation for the sum of squares. For that particular problem, any solution has an absolute value lower than the square root of a given n. Moreover for the sum of squares, we know perfectly well what is possible and impossible.

Sutherland, whose specialty includes massively parallel computations, broke the record in 2017 for the largest Compute Engine cluster, with 580,000 cores on Preemptible Virtual Machines, the largest known high-performance computing cluster to run in the public cloud. The number 42 is especially significant to fans of science fiction novelist Douglas Adams’ “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, ” because that number is the answer given by a supercomputer to “the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.” Deep Thought takes 7.5 million years to calculate the answer to the ultimate question. The characters tasked with getting that answer are disappointed because it is not very useful. Yet, as the computer points out, the question itself was vaguely formulated. To find the correct statement of the query whose answer is 42, the computer will have to build a new version of itself. That, too, will take time. The new version of the computer is Earth. To find out what happens next, you’ll have to read Adams’s books.

The answer came in a 2020 preprint, the result of a huge computational effort coordinated by Booker and Andrew Sutherland of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Computers participating in the Charity Engine network of personal computers, calculating for the equivalent of more than one million hours, showed: An infinite set of solutions is also known for n = 2. It was discovered in 1908 by mathematician A. S. Werebrusov. For any integer p:

By multiplying each term of these equations by the cube of an integer ( r3), we deduce that there are also infinitely many solutions for both the cube and double the cube of any integer.

Apart from allusions to 42 deliberately introduced by computer scientists for fun and the inevitable encounters with it that crop up when you poke around a bit in history or the world, you might still wonder whether there is anything special about the number from a strictly mathematical point of view. Mathematically Unique? Forty-two is a Catalan number. These numbers are extremely rare, much more so than prime numbers: only 14 of the former are lower than one billion. Catalan numbers were first mentioned, under another name, by Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler, who wanted to know how many different ways an n-sided convex polygon could be cut into triangles by connecting vertices with line segments. The beginning of the sequence ( A000108 in OEIS) is 1, 1, 2, 5, 14, 42, 132.... The nth element of the sequence is given by the formula c( n) = (2 n)! / ( n!( n + 1)!). And like the two preceding sequences, the density of numbers is null at infinity.

To illustrate how difficult it is to find solutions to the equation n = a 3 + b 3 + c 3, let’s see what happens for n = 1 and n = 2. We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 inch is equal to 0.06047619047619 × 42 centimeters. centimeters = inches / 0.393701 Using our inches to centimeters converter you can get answers to questions like: In other words, the cube of an integer modulo 9 is –1 (= 8), 0 or 1. Adding any three numbers among these numbers gives: The cases of 165, 795 and 906 were also solved recently. For integers below 1,000, only 114, 390, 579, 627, 633, 732, 921 and 975 remain to be solved.

Computer scientists and mathematicians recognize the appeal of the number 42 but have always thought that it was a simple game that could be played just as well with another number. Still, a recent news item caught their attention. When it was applied to the “sum of three cubes” problem, 42 was more troublesome than all the other numbers below 100. The conjecture that solutions exist for all integers n that are not of the form 9 m + 4 or 9 m + 5 would appear to be confirmed. In 1992 Roger Heath-Brown of the University of Oxford proposed a stronger conjecture stating that there are infinitely many ways to express all possible n’s as the sum of three cubes. The work is far from over. Like other computational number theorists who work in arithmetic geometry, he was aware of the “sum of three cubes” problem. And the two had worked together before, helping to build the L-functions and Modular Forms Database (LMFDB), an online atlas of mathematical objects related to what is known as the Langlands Program. “I was thrilled when Andy asked me to join him on this project,” says Sutherland. The number 42 is the sum of the first two nonzero integer powers of six—that is, 6 1 + 6 2 = 42. The sequence b( n), which is the sum of the powers of six, corresponds to entry A105281 in OEIS. It is defined by the formulas b(0) = 0, b( n) = 6 b( n– 1) + 6. The density of these numbers also tends toward zero at infinity. The difficulty appears so daunting that the question “Is n a sum of three cubes?” may be undecidable. In other words, no algorithm, however clever, may be able to process all possible cases. In 1936, for example, Alan Turing showed that no algorithm can solve the halting problem for every possible computer program. But here we are in a readily describable, purely mathematical domain. If we could prove such undecidability, that would be a novelty.
