1. Google is all about mathematics

The lifeline of today's time, Google, derived its name from the word 'googol' -- a mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros, which reflect infinite amount of search on the internet.

2. Crazy multiplications

A very interesting things about math is how crazy it gets with its function. For instance, if you multiply 111,111,111 by 111,111,111, this becomes equal to 12,345,678,987,654,321.

3. Dreadfully long division

Another mind-boggling application of maths comes in when the number 1 is divided by 998,001. The answer would give you a complete sequence from 000 to 999 in order. Don't agree with us? Go ahead and try it, and be ready to waste one entire notebook!

4. Pizza and math: Are they related?

We may seem like someone who is ruining pizza for you but you will be amazed to know its relation with maths. To find out the volume of the cylindrical shape of the pizza, the formula used is Pi x r x h.

So, if an ordinary pizza has a radius of 'z' and height 'a', its volume is

Pi x z x z x a which makes up 'pizza'.

5. The magic number 9

Have you ever heard that the number 9 is considered to be a "magic" number? No? Well it is, and here is why: if you multiply a number by 9 and add all the digits of the new number together, the sum will always add up to 9.

So, for example:

8 x 9 = 72

7 + 2 = 9

Or:

4 x 9 = 36

3 + 6 = 9

See? It truly is magical. Try it out. Every single combination will always lead you back to 9!

6. There Is Only One Number Spelled With the Same Number of Letters as Itself

You probably never thought about this before, but there is only one number spelled with the same number of letters as itself. Can you guess which one? No? Well, It's 4. Oh, and the number 4 on a calculator is made up of four light bars. Tell this fact at your next party!
