8/9 == 89% and 3/8 == 38% ... any more ?

Post by BeNotDeceived »

Divide by 10 and divide by 100 work exactly, but what other fractions match their percentage representation, to two significant digits. 3/8 could round up or down, but the ldsff polls round 3/8 to 38%, so that works.

1/6 = 0.16
if truncated, not rounded

57.2957 is truncated 360/2π ... which is an interesting way to represent 1
2π radians is equal to 360 degrees, so divide something equal to itself and you get 1

It’s actually a endless transcendental number like π, but with the stipulation of using a circle with 360 degrees. There’s some videos about how characters in the Bible have numerical equivalents, and many amazing correlations are demonstrated. 57.2958 is a #57 anomaly, but ending with 57 too, is like the icing on the cake.

C=3 and H=8 have long stood out to me due to unusual things occurring on March8. And now it and 89 share an unusual property. H=8 and I=9 is an informal greeting, or an island state. One upon a time it was part of me avatar High Spy from Up in the Sky, HI.

January 6 was an eventful day this year. :P

The polls often show 19 and 57 percent too.

Why do you think that is. :?:
