Title: Doubles Post by: Kimberly AJ on December 19, 2012, 07:20AM Has anyone tried a game of doubling the numbers? When I used the calculator, I doubled more numbers that look unexpected to me. So, let's try this game together.
1, 2 What is the double of two? Title: Re: Doubles Post by: Kevin R.I. on December 19, 2012, 08:19AM 4 !!!!

Title: Re: Doubles Post by: urbanracer34 on December 20, 2012, 04:56PM 33,554,432. With that much I would never have to work and I can go wherever I want in the world. :D

( if you're having problems doubling numbers use Wolfram Alpha (http://www.wolframalpha.com), enter the number you wish to double, and add an "x 2" at the end. Submit query and your result will come up.) Title: Re: Doubles Post by: Jim M. on December 20, 2012, 05:31PM 536,870,912

Title: Re: Doubles Post by: Kimberly AJ on December 21, 2012, 05:12PM Let me correct this:
2,147,483,648 4,294,967,296 8,589,934,592 Remember to use commas when making big numbers, OK? Title: Re: Doubles Post by: Kevin R.I. on December 21, 2012, 05:23PM 17,179,869 :o
Title: Re: Doubles Post by: Kimberly AJ on December 21, 2012, 05:26PM (http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/sad/no.gif) That's not the double of 8,589,934,592.
Title: Re: Doubles Post by: Kevin R.I. on December 21, 2012, 05:32PM (http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/sad/no.gif) That's not the double of 8,589,934,592. according to my calculator, it is. Title: Re: Doubles Post by: Jim M. on December 21, 2012, 05:52PM An 8 digit number cannot be the double of a 10 digit number. Try again. :)
Title: Re: Doubles Post by: Kevin R.I. on December 21, 2012, 05:55PM my calculator doesn`t go that high ...neither does my brain :(
Title: Re: Doubles Post by: urbanracer34 on December 21, 2012, 06:10PM Let's get back on track, you might want to check out my tip on the last page... KEVIN!!!!
(sorry I couldn't resist :P) I re-produced it below. If you're having problems doubling numbers use Wolfram Alpha (http://www.wolframalpha.com), enter the number you wish to double, and add an "x 2" at the end. Submit query and your result will come up. You'll need to type in the number in manually into the forum, unless you have an account with Wolfram Alpha, it's free unless you want to use the pro features.So.. Here's a PROPER DOUBLE using the technique above. 17,179,869,184 Title: Re: Doubles Post by: Kimberly AJ on December 21, 2012, 06:16PM Thank you a lot for your help, Urban Racer. :) Now, the next double is 34,359,738,368.

Been a long time, hasn't it? ;) My calculator lets my brain do the focus on mostly typing the numbers backwards and adding commas. Title: Re: Doubles Post by: Emer Dreamer on November 11, 2020, 10:15PM Wow ! It's in the quintillions now ! :o
Title: Re: Doubles Post by: Kimberly AJ on December 20, 2020, 05:19PM I know, right? I set my virtual calculator to advanced so there would be more room for so many digital units. It'll definitely be confusing without commas, wouldn't you say?
