I. INTRODUCTION
Mathematics is the science of reasoning and
computations. It is the science or study of numbers, quantities
or shapes. Mathematics has been regarded as a fundamental
subject because arithmetic and logical reasoning are the basis
of science and technology. According to Kitta (2004),
mathematics is the language that helps us to describe ideas and
relationships drawn from the environment. Mathematics
enables one to make the invisible to be visible, thereby solving
problems that would be impossible otherwise.

Mathematics is a fundamental discipline that underpins
various scientific fields, providing a universal language for
conveying and analyzing quantitative information. Numbers
are the building blocks of mathematics, enabling precise
measurements, calculations, and predictions. The study of
numbers has always been essential for understanding patterns,
structures, and phenomena in the natural and mathematical
worlds. Numbers and mathematics have been central to human
civilization for centuries. Applied in countless domains, from
engineering to finance, mathematics provides a language to
describe and understand the world. Numrelatics, a discipline
that actively investigates numbers and their interactions, aims
to explore numerical systems, properties, and patterns. The
field encompasses both theoretical aspects, such as number
theory, and applied areas, such as numerical analysis and
computational mathematics.
According to Lambdin (2009), mathematical demands on
students increases as they progress through school; take up
their adult lives at home and in the workplace. In order to
function in a mathematically literate way in the future,
students must have a strong foundation in mathematics. A
strong foundation involves much more than the rote
application of procedural knowledge. Ontario Ministry of
Education report in 2004 shows that, all students should be
able to understand, make sense of, and apply mathematics;
make connections between concepts and see patterns
throughout in mathematics.
Mathematics has long been a fundamental discipline in
understanding the world around us. The study of numbers
plays a significant role in various scientific, technological, and
social contexts. Traditionally, the focus of mathematics has
centered on individual numbers and their operations. However,
recent attention has shifted towards the investigation of
relationships and patterns among numbers, leading to the
emergence of numrelatics.
The concepts of numrelatics is coined and introduced by
Mr. Akinwole Adebayo Najeem, an author, researcher,
educationalist and edugameprenuer. His expertise and
innovative thinking has played a crucial role in advancing this
field of study. The study is based on the premise that numbers
within a cluster possess a hidden web of relationships. By
identifying these relationships, numrelatics offers a fresh
perspective on the interconnectedness of numbers and its
impact on various domains.

In today's world, mathematics and numbers are
omnipresent and play a vital role in our daily lives.
Mathematics has been used for thousands of years to enable us
to understand the world around us, and it has evolved with
time to keep up with the changing needs of the modern world.
One such branch of mathematics that has gained significant
relevance in recent times is Numrelatics.
II. NUMRELATICS
Numrelatics is a fascinating concept that explores the
intricate interconnectedness among a cluster of numbers. It
delves into the realm where numbers stand alone, yet their
interaction and manipulation lead to fascinating answers
within the domain of numbers. It focuses on exploring the
relationship among numbers when they are used or operated
upon to arrive at a specific answer. This subject delves into
how numbers interact with one another within as a group. For
example, in 210, 2 raised to power 0 is equal to 1. Within this
number, we encounter a unique relationship involving the
exponentiation of 2 to the power of 0, which intriguingly
yields 1. This concept defies conventional expectations, as we
often associate exponential operations with increasing values.
However, numrelatics challenges these notions, showcasing
the inherent complexity and beauty lying within numbers.
Numrelatics, as the study of numbers and their
relationships to the physical world, comes from the fusion of
"numeral" meaning a number or figure and "relatics" meaning
concerned with relationships or connections and dependencies.
The scope of numrelatics is vast, as it covers the application of
numerical analysis, algorithms, statistics, and other related
mathematical methods to various fields of knowledge.
Numrelatics is an interdisciplinary field of study, with
applications in engineering, physics, biology, economics, and
many other fields.
The field of numrelatics seems to provide a unique
perspective on how numbers can interact and yield interesting
results. By studying the relationships among numbers in this
way, researchers can potentially discover new patterns and
connections that may not be immediately apparent using
conventional mathematical methods.
Numrelatics unveils the hidden interconnectedness
among numbers, where their individual characteristics come to
life as they interact and operate on one another. It uncovers the
profound patterns and enigmatic connections within numerical
clusters, allowing us to explore and understand the intricacies
of this numerical realm.
With each exploration of numrelatics, we uncover deeper
insights into the enigmatic world of numbers. By unraveling
the relationships within these numerical clusters, we gain a
deeper appreciation for the complexity and profound nature of
mathematics.

Numrelatics reveals the intricate relationship among a
cluster of numbers, where manipulation and operation lead to
intriguing and unexpected results. Another example of
numrelatics is 3238. By examining this number, we can
identify a relationship between the digits 8, 3, 2, and 3.
Applying the subtraction operation, we can calculate 8 minus
3 minus 2, which ultimately equals 3. This illustrates how
these specific digits are not only present in the number but
also interconnected through a numrelatic relationship. Another
example of numrelatics is 1005, where the relationship is
discovered by multiplying 51 by 0. This calculation yields the
number 0, thereby establishing a link between the numbers 5,
1, 0, and 0 within the given cluster.
By delving into this realm, we can broaden our
understanding of numbers and appreciate the inherent beauty
and complexity they possess.
In the realm of numrelatics, the focus lies on how
numbers interact with one another, through various
mathematical operations and manipulations. These operations
can include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division,
exponentiation, and more. The ultimate goal is to uncover
meaningful relationships or patterns within a cluster of
numbers that stand alone.
It's important to note that not all numbers possess
numrelatic properties. A number is considered non-numrelatic
if it does not exhibit any meaningful relationship or pattern
within its respective cluster. In such cases, the study of
numrelatics would not be applicable, as there are no
discernible connections to explore. Only those that exhibit a
meaningful relationship or reveal a pattern when operated
upon or manipulated can be classified as numrelatic.
Numrelatics allows us to explore and uncover various
relationships and patterns within a set of numbers. By
manipulating and operating on the numbers in different ways,
we can observe how they interact and influence each other to
yield specific results. This concept can be applied to solve
mathematical problems, analyze data sets, or even study
complex algorithms, among other applications.
Numrelatics is a way of studying the patterns and
relationships between numbers and how they can be
manipulated to reach a particular answer. It involves the use of
mathematical calculations and operations to understand how
numbers behave and interact with each other. Through the
study of numrelatics, one can gain a deeper understanding of
the underlying principles and rules of mathematics and
develop a better appreciation for its beauty and complexity.
Numrelatics is not only a scientific field of study but also
an entertaining journey full of excitement and mental
challenges. It combines the best of mathematics, logic and
problem-solving, offering a unique perspective on numbers
that will captivate researcher’s imagination.

In summary, numrelatics involves examining the
relationships among numbers within a given cluster or set. By
applying mathematical operations to these numbers, we can
uncover patterns, derive outcomes, and gain a deeper
understanding of the interconnectedness of numbers within
this context.
A. Examples of numrelatics
One main fascinating point to note in numrelatics is that
all the numbers in the cluster must be used, and each number
can only be used once. There is no hard and fast rule to
determine if a number is numrelatics. The key is to explain
mathematically how one arrives at the answer. This makes
numrelatics a fun and challenging game that tests not only
one’s mathematical abilities but also their creativity and
problem-solving skills. It should however be noted that there
are many approaches/methods to how a number can be
numrelatized.
Examples of numrelatic numbers begin with two-digit
numbers and continue indefinitely, with no specific limit to
any number of digits. The operations can, in numrelatics,
range from simple (addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division) to complex (exponential functions, squares, square
roots, cubes, cube roots, base numbers etc.).
 Two-digit numrelatics
Some two-digit numbers are numrelatized as follows:
 24 (2 squared is equal to 4)
 82 (Cube root of 8 equals 2)
 93 (Square root of 9 equals 3)
 Three-digit numrelatics
We numrelatize some two-digit numbers as follows:
 213 (One plus two equals three)
 869 (8 plus 6 equal 14, and 14 in base 5 equals 9)
 392 (3 raised to power 2 equals 9)
 410 (4 raised to power 0 equals 1)
 900 (9 times 0 gives 0)
 555 (5 squared (25) divided by 5 equals 5)
 Four-digit numrelatics
 6023 (2 times 3 plus 0 equals 6)
 1195 (1 plus 1 = 2. And 2 squared plus 5 equals 9)
 8012 (82 raised to power 0 equals 1)
 3252 (2 raised to power 5 equals 32)
 Five-digit numrelatics
 33333 (3 times 3 = 9. 3 plus 3 = 6. 9 minus 6 equals 3)
 48167 (4 plus 8 plus 6 = 18. 18 in base 9 equals 17)
 23402 (2 plus 0 = 2. 2 cubed = 8. 8 times 3 equals 24)

B. Examples of non-numrelatics
There are some numbers that do not exhibit numrelatic
properties. These numbers are said to be non-numrelatic.
Examples of non-numrelatics are 2023, 922 etc. However, the
concept of numrelatic numbers is subjective, as individuals
may perceive certain numbers as non-numrelatics or
numrelatic based on their manipulative and numrelatic skills.
What may appear as unrelated or irrelevant numbers to some
might hold numerical significance and meaning to others. The
interpretation and recognition of numrelatic numbers vary
based on an individual’s proficiency in manipulating and
understanding numerical patterns. Ultimately, the designation
of numrelatic or non-numrelatic numbers is influenced by an
individual’s numerical aptitude and perspective.
