Programs to find number patterns

In summary, the conversation discusses the use of programs to find commonalities between a set of numbers, with one person suggesting a website for finding sequences and another mentioning a mathematical approach using a polynomial function. However, they also mention that the numbers in question may be too large for these methods to work effectively.

Are there any programs that can be used to find out what numbers have in common?

eg,

748805534073
408986296450
445580425891
399528663101
571646773773

can't find anything to do it :confused:

cheers

There's too little info in this query. What are you looking for ? And why ? Some context may help...

Here is always a good place for sequences: http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/

However it does not seem to find your numbers in any sequence. I once wrote a number program that gave many properties of a number however I think your numbers are too big at the moment (I'm writing a newer version) sorry :frown:

The first thing you are going to have to do is describe exactly (mathematically) what you mean by "have in common"!

They're obviously the first 5 terms in the sequence a_n = (63322918749/2)n^4 - (2358746821765/6)n^3 + (3510834041869/2)n^2 - (19974725393909/6)n + 2683972423043.

If you have X numbers, you need a maximum of a (x-1)th degree polynomial to put them all in a function. 1 point requires a 0th degree (y=6), 2 requires a line (y=2x+6), etc. With 5 numbers it may take awhile to solve, though.
 

Related to Programs to find number patterns

What is a "Program to find number patterns"?

A "Program to find number patterns" is a computer program that is designed to identify and analyze patterns in a given set of numbers. It can be used to solve mathematical problems and make predictions based on the patterns found.

How does a "Program to find number patterns" work?

A "Program to find number patterns" works by using algorithms and mathematical operations to analyze a given set of numbers and identify any recurring patterns. It can also use data visualization techniques to make the patterns more easily understandable.

What are the benefits of using a "Program to find number patterns"?

Using a "Program to find number patterns" can help in various ways such as making predictions, solving mathematical problems, and identifying trends in data. It can also save time and increase accuracy compared to manual analysis.

What are the limitations of a "Program to find number patterns"?

One limitation of a "Program to find number patterns" is that it can only analyze numbers and not other types of data. It also relies on the quality of the input data, so if the data is incomplete or incorrect, the results may not be accurate.

Is a background in mathematics necessary to use a "Program to find number patterns"?

While a basic understanding of mathematics and algorithms can be helpful, a background in mathematics is not necessary to use a "Program to find number patterns". Many programs have user-friendly interfaces and can be used by individuals with varying levels of mathematical knowledge.
