素數倒數幻方
外觀
素數倒數幻方(prime reciprocal magic square)是指用素數倒數及其倍數的循環小數各位數組成的幻方。有些素數的倒數則可以形成對角線和也滿足條件的幻方。
考慮在十進制下的1/7,其小數為循環小數1/7 = 0·142857142857142857...,若再考慮其倍數,會看到這六個數字的循環排列:
1/7 = 0·1 4 2 8 5 7... 2/7 = 0·2 8 5 7 1 4... 3/7 = 0·4 2 8 5 7 1... 4/7 = 0·5 7 1 4 2 8... 5/7 = 0·7 1 4 2 8 5... 6/7 = 0·8 5 7 1 4 2...
若用上述數字形成方陣,每一列的和是1+4+2+8+5+7,即為27,每一行的和也是27,若不考慮對角線,因此可以形成一個幻方:
1 4 2 8 5 7 2 8 5 7 1 4 4 2 8 5 7 1 5 7 1 4 2 8 7 1 4 2 8 5 8 5 7 1 4 2
不過其對角線不是27。
考慮1/19的倍數,下一行是上一行的二倍,而小數位數似乎右移一位:
01/19 = 0.052631578,947368421 02/19 = 0.1052631578,94736842 04/19 = 0.21052631578,9473684 08/19 = 0.421052631578,947368 16/19 = 0.8421052631578,94736
分子乘以2會讓小數的位數右移一位:
在1/19形成的方陣中,其最大週期為18,每一行及每一列的和是81,而且對角線也是81,完全符合幻方的條件:
01/19 = 0·0 5 2 6 3 1 5 7 8 9 4 7 3 6 8 4 2 1... 02/19 = 0·1 0 5 2 6 3 1 5 7 8 9 4 7 3 6 8 4 2... 03/19 = 0·1 5 7 8 9 4 7 3 6 8 4 2 1 0 5 2 6 3... 04/19 = 0·2 1 0 5 2 6 3 1 5 7 8 9 4 7 3 6 8 4... 05/19 = 0·2 6 3 1 5 7 8 9 4 7 3 6 8 4 2 1 0 5... 06/19 = 0·3 1 5 7 8 9 4 7 3 6 8 4 2 1 0 5 2 6... 07/19 = 0·3 6 8 4 2 1 0 5 2 6 3 1 5 7 8 9 4 7... 08/19 = 0·4 2 1 0 5 2 6 3 1 5 7 8 9 4 7 3 6 8... 09/19 = 0·4 7 3 6 8 4 2 1 0 5 2 6 3 1 5 7 8 9... 10/19 = 0·5 2 6 3 1 5 7 8 9 4 7 3 6 8 4 2 1 0... 11/19 = 0·5 7 8 9 4 7 3 6 8 4 2 1 0 5 2 6 3 1... 12/19 = 0·6 3 1 5 7 8 9 4 7 3 6 8 4 2 1 0 5 2... 13/19 = 0·6 8 4 2 1 0 5 2 6 3 1 5 7 8 9 4 7 3... 14/19 = 0·7 3 6 8 4 2 1 0 5 2 6 3 1 5 7 8 9 4... 15/19 = 0·7 8 9 4 7 3 6 8 4 2 1 0 5 2 6 3 1 5... 16/19 = 0·8 4 2 1 0 5 2 6 3 1 5 7 8 9 4 7 3 6... 17/19 = 0·8 9 4 7 3 6 8 4 2 1 0 5 2 6 3 1 5 7... 18/19 = 0·9 4 7 3 6 8 4 2 1 0 5 2 6 3 1 5 7 8...
