Every odd number
has an e in it. Odd
numbers need to end

appears first in 1000
(one thousand).
 The idea of zero was
invented by an Indian
mathematician and
astronomer Brahmagupta in
around 600 A. D. He
contributed a lot to
mathematics and astronomy,
and is known for explaining
how to find the cube and
cube-root of an integer.
Nickname of Denver
city is the mile-high
city because its official
elevation is exactly
one mile (or 5280 feet
or 1609.344 meters)
above sea level.
The hour and minute hand of a clock
coincide 22 times in a day.
 Take any number and
multiply it by three. Now find
the sum of the digits in the
answer. It is always divisible
by 3. For example, consider
17. Multiply it by 3 to obtain
17 × 3 = 51 and the sum of
digits = 5 + 1 = 6. Clearly, 6
is divisible by 3.
A perfect number refers to a
positive integer which is
equal to the sum of its
positive divisors. Following
this rule, 6 is the smallest
perfect number. The next
perfect number is 28.
From 0 to 1000, the only number that has
the letter a in it is one thousand.
The word love in tennis means a

 Number 9 is also known as
the magic number. This is
because if we find the digital
sum of digits (sum of digits
till we get a single digit) of
any multiple of 9, we will get
9. For example, consider 9 ×
99 = 891. Now the digital
sum is 8 + 9 + 1 = 18 and
again 1 + 8 = 9.
