The Beauty of Mathematics

Received via email from Sr. Angela. Thanks a bunch!

1°) The beauty of Mathematics !!!!!!!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, no?
Admire the symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321


2°) Now, take a look at this
...

101 %

From a mathematical standpoint:
What is equal to 100 %?
What does it mean to “ Give more than 100 %” ?

We all were in situations

Where we were asked

To give MORE than a 100 %.

Why not ACHIEVE 101 %?

What is 100 % in real life?

Here is a small formula that could help you answer these questions
:

If the letters:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

were represented by the numbers:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O- R-K

= 8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98 %

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E

= 11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96 %

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E

= 1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100 %

Finally, look at where The Love of God would lead you:

L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D

= 12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101 %

Consequently, we can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
Even if Hard Work and Knowledge would get you closer to 100%, and Attitude would be right on target,

It is the Love of God that would allow you to surpass your own abilities!

Please share with as many people as you want to brighten their day.

God Bless
