Talk:256 (number)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I removed info saying it is equal to 2^^4.
- 4^^2 = 4^4 = 256
- 2^^4 = 2^2^2^2 = 2^2^4 = 2^16 = 65,536

- I'm not the one who added it, just the one who thought I corrected it. My math skils are a little rusty, but isn't it: 2^^4 = 2^2^2^2 = 2^2^4 = 2^8 = 256? Or alternately 2^2^2^2 = 4^2^2 = 16^2 = 256. --Lkseitz 19:24, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

- Okay, I took a better look at the Knuth's up-arrow notation page. It doesn't work like I thought. You seem to be correct. --Lkseitz 23:49, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
