Counting Polydivisible Numbers
We can find the actual values of F(n) by counting the number of polydivisible numbers with a given length :
| Length n | F(n) | Estimate of F(n) | Length n | F(n) | Estimate of F(n) | Length n | F(n) | Estimate of F(n) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 9 | 9 | 11 | 2225 | 2255 | 21 | 18 | 17 | ||
| 2 | 45 | 45 | 12 | 2041 | 1879 | 22 | 12 | 8 | ||
| 3 | 150 | 150 | 13 | 1575 | 1445 | 23 | 6 | 3 | ||
| 4 | 375 | 375 | 14 | 1132 | 1032 | 24 | 3 | 1 | ||
| 5 | 750 | 750 | 15 | 770 | 688 | 25 | 1 | 1 | ||

Famous quotes containing the words counting and/or numbers:
“Is it not manifest that our academic institutions should have a wider scope; that they should not be timid and keep the ruts of the last generation, but that wise men thinking for themselves and heartily seeking the good of mankind, and counting the cost of innovation, should dare to arouse the young to a just and heroic life; that the moral nature should be addressed in the school-room, and children should be treated as the high-born candidates of truth and virtue?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“He bundles every forkful in its place,
And tags and numbers it for future reference,
So he can find and easily dislodge it
In the unloading. Silas does that well.
He takes it out in bunches like birds’ nests.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
