    If you were to write down a number at random, you would give all the numbers 1 to 9 an equal probability of being the first digit of your number. Physicist Frank Benford noticed that numbers found in real life had a much higher probability of starting with a 1 than numbers picked randomly. The digits that a number might start with, in descending order of probability, are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

    If you were to write down a number at random, you would give all the numbers 1 to 9 an equal probability of
    being the first digit of your number. This is because each number has an equal chance of being selected as
    the first number. In 1938, physicist Frank Benford noticed that numbers found in real life had a much higher
    probability of starting with a 1 than numbers that were picked randomly. In fact, the digits that a number
    might start with, in descending order of probability, are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
    Benfords Law has many natural examples such as food prices, populations, numbers in magazines, chemical
    properties and areas.
