    I’m guessing all the “clones” in the later Highly Composite Numbers are because they all have 11 as one of their many factors. With the lower ones, it looks like every highly composite number except 1 is divisible by 2, every highly composite number starting with 6 is divisible by 3, highly composite numbers starting with 60 are divisible by 5, and 840 is where they start being divisible by 7, so it makes sense that 11 joins later on.

    There actually exists a duodecimal system with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, dek, el and do. This would be way more useful to modern-day mathematics, because fractions in this system are more often visually appealing and easier to work with. For example: 1/3 = 0.4, 1/4 = 0.3 and 1/6 = 0.2. These fractions are 0.3333..., 0.25 and 0.1666... in our decimal system, which is way more inconvenient.

    There's also base six, officially named senary but also called seximal. It's got a lot of the same benefits of dozenal, while requiring no new symbols and having better representations for a fifth (0.11111...) and a seventh (0.05050505....) than the corresponding ones in dozenal (0.24972497..., 0.186X35186X35...).

    My favorite quirk of numbers is talking with people who think Base 10 is somehow better than other Bases. Like the only reason Base 10 means Base (9+1) is because we all agree that it does. Every base system would call itself Base 10. Count using 6? That's now Base 10. Counting using 100? 100 is now Base 10. So next time someone says Base [anything with more than 1 digit] poke a little fun at how ambiguous their phrasing is.

As n goes up, there will always be numbers n with larger and larger f(n).

    For me, the biggest pro of SI is the fact all of the units are experimentally derived (though US Customary are legally defined in terms of SI units, and thus physical constants, now). Order of magnitude prefixes are just shorthand for scientific notation, so they aren't really as big of an advantage as is often touted. Another thing is that scientists have to deal with floating point precision, so in the end base 2 reigns supreme.

    I shall propose a number system based on 24 called tetraseximal (Sub base of 8 ) 10 -24 (24×1) 20-48 (24×2) 100-576 ( 24×24) 1000-1728 ( 72×24) 10000 - 8640 ( 360 x 24 ) Basically this system is more of Roman numeral style where instead of exponents it's more of an addition subtraction thingy hence the lack of uniformity. It goes like this in our base 10 system 24 , 48 , 576 , 1728 ,8640 , 13824 , 46456 ... and then back to 24 ^n to the beyond Here's a couple of examples To write 33 (DEC ) in base 24 (TSM). All you need to do is find if it's close enough to 24 and no more than 8 spaces away from 24 . Now 33 is 9 spaces away , so this sub base of 8 comes in handy and it's right next to 8×4 so this is how how write 33 in this system (8×4)+1 =33 ,so everything from one to 0-7 is written as the same and from 8-15 is written with the same numbers from 1 to 7 but with a dash above them and 16 -23 is written with 2 dots _ So 33 is 1 ×4 +1 = . . 11

    If anyone cares what the equivalent antiprimes would be when accounting for the same number of divisors: 10 -> 6 100 -> 36 1,000 ->120 10,000 -> 360 (1 less divisor than 10,000) 100,000 -> 1,260 1,000,000 -> 2,520 (1 less divisor than 1,000,000) I think if you start throwing "largely composite numbers" into the mix I think one could potentially come up with a system that divides much nicer into the next orders of magnitude upward.

    I propose that we call these anti-prime numbers, Amibote Number. Yes, the name is intentionally similar to Amicable Numbers which comes in pairs. A bit of Classical Latin, "Amabo te" is dirrectly translate as "please", although it is less ambiguous than the English phrase "please". It has additional meaning of pleasing. So, Amibote Numbers are Pleasing Numbers! In the event that you use these numbers, you ("te") will love it ("ami" or genitive "ama") and it is good for you ("bonum").

They are divisible by any number in their *continuous* sequence of positive integer. While the first in the sequence are Superior Highly Composit Numbers, they start to pick up other composite numbers.

    ​@@thorbjrnhellehaven5766 You shouldn't feel stupid! When you were thinking of an "expression" for C(n) you were probably thinking of some formula for C(n) involving +, −, ×, ÷, powers, roots, maybe logarithms and exponentials and so on, but it is all too easy to forget - and most of us do forget - that non-smooth functions are perfectly valid functions too, even though we don't have buttons on our calculators for them. for example: - |n| and sign(n); - min(a,b), max(a,b); - gcd(a,b), lcm(a,b); - σ_0(n), the number of divisors of n; - σ_1(n), the sum of the divisors of n; - v_p(n), the exponent of the prime p in the prime factorisation of n; - ω(n) and Ω(n), the number of prime factors of n not counting or counting multiplicity, respectively; - φ(n), the number of positive integers ≤ n that are coprime to n; - π(n), the number of primes ≤ n; - p(n), the number of ways of ways of partitioning n, i.e. writing n as a sum of positive integers (ignoring the order of the summands); - r_2(n), the number of ways of writing n as a sum of two squares (of integers, and not ignoring the order of the summands); - r_k(n), the number of ways of writing n as a sum of k squares (of integers, not ignoring order) (I had to look on wikipedia towards the end there xD) Your sequence C(n) is in the online encyclopedia of integer sequences (OEIS) and has garnered quite a lot of interest. For example some of the simpler-to-state things about it are that 2^n ≤ C(n) ≤ 4^n, so its growth rate is exponential, and the value of C(n) only changes at prime powers (values n = p^k for a prime p and a natural number k): from the values you calculated you can see that it changes value at 2, 3, 4=2^2, 5, 7, 8=2^3, and 9=3^2, and that it doesn't change at the non-prime-powers 6=2·3 and 10=2·5. It follows that there are arbitrarily long streaks where C(n) does not change value (as there are arbitrarily long streaks of non-prime-powers) and that the longest streak with all different values is the initial streak C(n) = 1, 2, 6, 12, 60 (as the longest streak of prime powers is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) :D

    0:29 No we didn't decide 12 was important. The Romans did. They probably got it from the Etruscans or the lucanians since they still counted in base 10. The Babylons decided that 60 was an important number that's why we have 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour, and why we have 360 degrees in a circle and calendars used to have 360 days a year before Julius Caesar standardized it.

    @@tnk4me4 It was your timestamp. It's at 29 seconds. He doesn't say "we decided" until he starts talking about the carton of eggs, so I thought that was your only problem with the video. He doesn't even finish the sentence, so I thought you were being ridiculous. You should have put the timestamp at 28 secs. Your argument makes no sense anyways. When he says "we decided to divide the year into 12 months" it's because we have. We could only mean a few things here. 1. Literally him and at least one other person. When you say "no, we didn't decide," are you literally saying you and the KZreadr didn't decide that? I think not. (I hope not!) 2. He means the whole human race. This is true. The entire human race has decided to officially adopt some form of calendar that has 12 months. If you bring up some tribes in the Amazon or some shit I swear I will find you. 3. He means western civilization, which includes him, his culture, and basically ever one who is watching the vid who speaks English. 2 and 3 are interchangeable. When he says "decided" he mean accepted as basic reality, or or come to an agreement that that is what we are going to go with. If a philosophy professor said in a classroom "we decided that murder is immoral" would you say "No, we didn't decide that. The Sumerians decided that." If you would, then I'm sorry. Either English is not your first language, you are an idiot, or you are being a pendantic troll.
