Pythagoras invented friendship. Friend Numbers

in history •  6 years ago 
Pythagoras of Samos, that great mathematician and philosopher of Ancient Greece, who is said to have evaluated everything, or saw, in relation to mathematics, has been a character who has marked the history of the humanity.

Despite having lived in the 6th century BC C, the relevance of their contributions, such as, for example, **Theorem of Pythagoras **is as valid today as it was yesterday, as we remember its famous phrases that teach us every day, for example, the value of friendship, it He said:

"A friend is the one who is the other me"

Pythagoras and the mathematization of life

Well, that which is pointed out that everything Pythagoras through the eyes of mathematics is something like a truism, a triviality, its sentences, and the legacy left by such an important character of history, as well demonstrated.

"The beginning is half of the whole"

"In three the human soul is divided: in mind, in wisdom and in anger"

** "Measure your wishes, weigh your opinions and count your words" **

"The prince is half of everything"

"It is necessary to find the infinitely great in the infinitely small, to feel the presence of God".

"Friendship is an harmonious equality"

They are, the previous ones, only six sentences of the many that the Great Pythagoras left us where he makes clear the mathematization of daily life and life. Phrases to reflect and live mathematics from the human and sensitive.
Pythagoras, left us, as a legacy, an inexorable truth, The world speaks through mathematics

Pythagoras and Friendship

It is said, metaphorically, that Pythagoras invented friendship. In his way of seeing life, through mathematics, Pythagoras referred to, or defined, friendship in the following terms:

To the question that is a friend, Pythagoras answered, as we said at the beginning, "He who is the other me, like 220 and 284"

The friendly numbers

For the pitágoricos, legion of mathematicians gathered around the teachings and Pythagorean mathematical doctrine, the "friendly numbers" or "friendly" "are those where each one is the sum of everything that measures the other. 284 are, in the Pythagorean Pantheon, the most famous friendly numbers".

Let's see, or mediate, the definition from "friends 220 and 284"

220: what measures 220 are their divisors, that is: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55, 110.

Now how much does everything measure to 220, 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 + 11 + 20 + 22 + 55 + 110 = 284 Eureka! 284, the other, your friend!

Let's repeat the process for 284.

284: Its divisors, those that measure it: 1, 2, 4, 71, 142

How much, now, everything that measures it to 284: **1 + 2 + 4 + 71 + 142 = 220, Your friend, 284, the other! **
