| Abstract: | In his letter which appeared in the issue of the Times of the 28th January, 1999, Mr. M. Pace pointed out an interesting property of the number nine in the set of integers modulo ten. In general, when we work on the scale of n (where n is 3 or more) the number n-1 exhibits the same properties. So, the number 15 shows these properties in the hexadecimal scale. So does seven in the integers modulo 8. |
