Digital root number is the number mod 11 (Ɛ), for example, 1972 is 1 + 9 + 7 + 2 = 19 = 17 which is 1 + 7 = 8, while in decimal the root of the same number (3110) is 5; and in base 16 a digital root of a number is the number mod 15 (0xF), for example, 0x7DF is 7 + 13 + 15 = 35 = 0x23 which is 2 + 3 = 5, while in decimal the root of the same number (2015) is 8. Digital roots form an important mechanic in the visual novel adventure
Square root of 2 Square root of 2 The square root of 2, or the (1/2)th power of 2, written in mathematics as or , is the positive algebraic number that, when multiplied by itself, gives the number 2. Technically, it is called the principal square root of 2, to distinguish it from the negative number with the same property. Geometrically the square root of 2 is the length of a diagonal across a square with sides of one unit of length; this follows from the Pythagorean theorem. It was probably the first number known to be irrational. As a good rational approximation for
