An interesting fact I considered today is that when counting by even numbers odd numbers are missed. But when you count by odd numbers you now have 0-9 as an ending numerals. I’m sorry for ranting to myself but I do enjoy it and I probably will come back and use this as a little motivation.
 
My next goal is to get .1416 or the decimals of pie by dividing 28..33/200 =.1416 to figure out the decimals of Rounded pie on my Rhetilator program it would be base 3


It looks like 231.1/21132. I do not think base 3 works with this fraction but I will not give up that easy
 
I ran across a problem of basic addition not working when I use the number 3131 to represent 100 when I try adding the two I come up with 13332 or 191 base 10. When I try adding 3131 to 21132 “200” it actually does equal 31333 or 300?

This was a fresh conundrum for me. And this is 100 perfect applicable to science involving any fractions.

What I’m concerned is did I mess up or is there an easy solution to add 3131 and 3131 “100+100” and still get 21132 or “200”
It was boring but if you like math puzzles it’s like learning a new math language.

Is anybody up for the challenge to speak numbers?
 
I was going through my old notes of when the idea was still fresh. I could not divide 7/3 but now with a little more experience I know that is 21= 7 and and 13=6
Then 3 x2.1 = 21 “7”

If you break it down 2x3 =13. “6”
And .1x3 = 1 in the base 3 system
6+1 = 7
Therefore 7/3 can be expressed a non repeating 2.1 instead of 2.3333 repeating.

Ai has said this could be beneficial is astronomy, architecture, and engineering.
Even though I’m almost certain it would be applicable I still have not thought of a serious application that would make a difference worth changing to a new math system.

In the future I do believe we will learn to count by numbers other than 10. And I made a good step learning on my own
 
I messed up from 180 to 190… a minor set back. I noticed that basic addition does work I just made an error being off by 9 when calculating to 200… I want to delete all the posts about my mistake but maybe people will learn from my mistake.

What I figured out tonight was that basic addition indeed works with the base 3 system.
 
I spent more time working on pie with the base 3 system. Still no practical use but the added gibberish is

.14159=
14159/
1000000


.14159/3=.0471966repeating.decimals of pie divided by 3.
100000/3=3333.33repeating

I do not know the significance of 3 except pie is starting with dividing by 3 or thirds and a decimal.

If pie were able to divide by 3 it would divide by 3 again theoretically

.31415/3 = .104766repeating
.314159= .1047966repeating

By getting a repeating number when divided by 3. You might assume the number is repeating

I have been trying to apply the base 3 to these digits but I am making little to no progress…

Whew
 
I made some calculations with the Rhetilator.

3.14 = 3.112
112= 14
11.2 + 11.2 +11.2
4 2/3 x 3 = 14
“4 2/3+ 4 2/3 + 4 2/3 = 14”


Rhetilator
3.112/3= 1.x112
Zeros must be represent by x because zeros in the Rhetilator are replaced by digits to the left of the such as 13 -3 = 3 “6-3=3” the remaining one on the left must cancel to make the zero a 3 for a proper answer. An x will divide fractions further and further such as .x112/3=.xx112



Normal base 10
3.14/3= 1.0466666 repeating

I feel like there is a chance we will find a definite number because the circumference is dividing the decimals by 3 to get a radius. When you divide pie numbers by 3 you get repeating. However with the Rhetilator you can freely divide pie numbers by 3 example given above.

I have not found the sweet spot yet but I feel like the calculator is a good idea and makes my control freak inside happy.

I now corrected and changed this for awhile and am uncertain if I had or even have it correct now. I still struggle grasping base 3 system.

In base 10 you cannot divide 3.14/3 because it leads to the number growing smaller and smaller is the pattern but 99.999 repeating will never equal 100. The part I’m stuck on is figuring out what number to choose for pie in the base 3 system. I will study some pi videos to see if I can find the digit I want to theoretically replace.
 
Every digit further I go with pie and divide it by 3 there is always some type of third repeating at the end. I do not look at pi as a wonder although it’s super useful. I look at pie as a flaw. We all know diameters and circumferences have an exact answer. We just have to find it. I’ve already watched most pi videos they were not very revolutionary to my thinking.

I’ll try another day
 
That is far out. How about the Egyptians cubit and measuring the circumference of the earth using shadows cast by the sun. They placed their pyramids near perfect using pi. They also calculate pie using diameter and circumference measured by a rope. Their approx was 3.16. For lost technology using pi could have been their breakthrough in engineering. That was around 1650 b.c. Wow
 
3.14/2 = 1.57
3.141/2=1.5705
3.1415/2=1.57075
3.14159=1.570795
3.141592/2 =1.570796
3.1415926/2 =1.570963

I noticed pie numbers do not have a problem dividing by 2.

1.57/3 =5.2333repeating

Whenever we divide an approx pi digit by 3 we get a .666 repeating at the end of the decimal

However
3/2 = .666 repeating
3/5 = 1.6666 repeating
3/8 = 2.6666 r
3/11 = 3.6666 r

I was trying to find a pattern that only uses .666 repeating at the end of the decimal. I found that anything with 2/3 ends with .66 repeating

Therefore since dividing numerals of pie by 3 always leads to 2/3.

If
8/3 = 2.666 R
14/3=4.666 R
20/3=6.666 R

8 and adding numbers of 6 such as 14, 20, 26, 32 38 44 50 56 62 68 74 80 86 92 98 104 110 116 122 128 134 140 146 152 158 166 172etc you get numbers divisible by 2 but still end with 2/3 when divided by 3. Some numbers are in the pi number like 14 92 26 now will I find something in common with the numbers

More nonsense but knowledge is power
