1089 (number)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1089 is the integer after 1088 and before 1090.

1089
Cardinal One thousand and eighty-nine
Ordinal 1089th
Factorization 1089 = 3^2 \cdot 11^2
Binary 10001000001
Hexadecimal 441

It is a square number (33 squared), a nonagonal number, a 32-gonal number, a 364-gonal number, and a centered octagonal number.

In base 10, the following steps always yield 1089:

  1. Take any three-digit integer in which all three digits are different from each other.
  2. Reverse the digits, and subtract the smaller integer from the larger one.
  3. Add to this result (if the result has only two digits, add a zero in front of it first) the number produced by reversing its digits.

For example:

732 - 237 = 495
495 + 594 = 1089
342 - 243 = 099
099 + 990 = 1089

Multiplying the number 1089 by the integers from 1 to 9 produces a pattern: multipliers adding up to 10 give products that are the digit reversals of each other. Also note the patterns within each column.

1 x 1089 = 1089
2 x 1089 = 2178
3 x 1089 = 3267
4 x 1089 = 4356
5 x 1089 = 5445
6 x 1089 = 6534
7 x 1089 = 7623
8 x 1089 = 8712
9 x 1089 = 9801

Numbers formed analogously in other bases, e.g. octal 1067 or hexadecimal 10EF, also have these properties.
