=1776

[sgreenfi]

why is it that if you take any single digit number, triplicate it, then mulitiply it by 16 and finally divide it by the original digit the answer is always 1776? example. 7
777x16=12,432 12,432/7=1776. 8- 888x16=14,208 14,208/8=1776 etc...

Probably because [tex]\frac{\overline{aaa}*16}{a}=\frac{a*111*16}{a}=111*16=1776[/tex]
