Is something wrong with the math markup on this page? Andy Mabbett 01:29, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)

No, its just cause when it detects no special math character is needed it doesn't make a ping, so you see text rather than a ping of text. -- Anonymous User

[edit] 64 incident?

A Google search for "64 incident" yields mostly unrelated results. The results that do mention Tianamen are for this Wikipedia article. I also tried "64 tianamen" and that gave similar results. Anton Mravcek 17:18, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

This is a growing problem in Wikipedia. I've found other "facts" that were spread throughout the web, but the original source was always Wikipedia! --Grouse 22:48, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is this right?

From the Article: It is also the number of days a reoccurance took place over the summer of 2005 to a then 13 yr old girl.

That was in the astronomy section. It doesn't sound relevant to astronomy so I removed it. PrimeFan 20:44, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] An interesting observation about 64

Noting that 2^6 = 4^3 = 8^2, is it just a little interesting that 2*4*8 = 64 ? Is there any other number with this property? -- Toksyuryel ^{talk | contrib} 18:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Can you state this property algebraically? (Something like n = x^2 + y^3 ... etc.) PrimeFan 22:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Well so far 64 is the only number I know to have this property... where the number is a product of all of its roots. If we could find more numbers perhaps we could find a pattern for it (like we have something of a pattern for perfect numbers) -- Toksyuryel ^{talk | contrib}

Every number is a product of all its prime roots. This is an inherent property of all numbers. So 8 = 4*2, 16=8*2 or 4*4 or 16*1, ect. Only prime numbers are products of all their roots, with a few exceptions (8 = 4*2*1, 6=3*2*1, 14 = 7*2*1, 21 = 7*3*1, ect.). Titanium Dragon 07:38, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Those are factors, not roots. -- Toksyuryel ^{talk | contrib}
