About Number 42.

bold Yeah , What's about number 42? bold

42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and the Everything.

I guess most of them knew this from the famous book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".

42 is the product of two consecutive numbers (42 = 6 * 7) (Dude,it's OK man)

It is primary pseudo perfect number. (what does that even mean?)

42 = 2 * 3 * 7. (prime factorization)

1/2 + 1/3 + 1/7 + 1/42 = 1 (this is what a prim. pseudo. perfect number means).

42 in base 4 = 222 (it looks good to me).

42 is the only known value that is the number of sets of four distinct positive integers a,b,c,d, each less than the value itself, such that ab-dc, ac-db, and ad-bc are each multiples of the value. Whether there are other values remains an open question

42 is a Catalan number.

42 in binary = 101010 (it looks good in binary).

MATH:

M = 13th Alphabet ,A = 1, T = 20 , H = 8
42 = 13 + 1 + 20 +8

Does that mean Math is the answer to the ultimate question of life ,the universe and the everything. or It's just a coincidence. (I think not)
