Question 1136826

Without your question, this post makes no sense . . . 



And I suspect that even WITH your question it makes no sense, too . . . 



You can make your own conclusion, based on my post . . .

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<U>My response to the post by @Edwin McCravy</U>



At the middle of this night, &nbsp;after reading the post by the tutor @Edwin McCravy from my cell phone, &nbsp;I was very surprised.


What ?  &nbsp;Dr., &nbsp;professor &nbsp;Edwin McCravy &nbsp;tries to dispute / (to argue) &nbsp;my position ?
Does he try to construct logical arguments to predict the next term in this sequence ?


I can easily disprove all his arguments. &nbsp;Right now. &nbsp;In the next 5 minutes. &nbsp;In the next &nbsp;4&nbsp; lines. &nbsp;Using the same logic.


<pre>
    The increasing sequence of divisors of 4845 is 

    1, 3,  5, 15, 17, 19, 51,  57,  85,  255, 323 . . . and so on

    Double them and you get

    2, 6, 10, 30, 34, 38, 102, 114, 170, 510,  626 . . . and so on.

Professor Edwin McCrave is too smart to state that the number 102, &nbsp;next after 34 in his post, &nbsp;<U>MUST BE</U> &nbsp;the next number of the sequence.

He avoids making such a statement.

It is good, &nbsp;because in &nbsp;MY &nbsp;SEQUENCE &nbsp;the next number after &nbsp;34&nbsp; is &nbsp;<U>38</U>, &nbsp;and it is obtained &nbsp;<U>using the same arguments</U>.



What is said, &nbsp;proves once again that the question &nbsp;"What is the next number of the sequence" &nbsp;makes no sense in this context.


Everybody with healthy mind, armed with the common sense, knows it.


I think &nbsp;(no, &nbsp;I am sure), &nbsp;Dr. professor Edwin McCravy does understand and knows it &nbsp;<U>VERY &nbsp;WELL</U> &nbsp;even &nbsp;<U>WITHOUT &nbsp;MY &nbsp;ARGUMENTS</U>.


But my duty in this forum is to clearly explain it to the visitors of this forum.


<U>Memorize and remember it</U>, &nbsp;and &nbsp;<U>DO &nbsp;NOT &nbsp;WASTE &nbsp;your time</U>&nbsp; and the <U>tutors' time</U> in this forum with such questions.



Actually, &nbsp; using this amount of time &nbsp;(spent by me for &nbsp;NOTHING . . . ), &nbsp;I would be really able to help 
to other student (or two of them), &nbsp;who really needs/(need) help . . .

    I hope that the reader has feeling that my tone is half-joking.  Yes, it is. In half.

    But in other half, I am absolutely serious . . .

And I have even more to say.


Why professor, &nbsp;Dr. McCravy thinks that the question in the post is to predict the next number of the sequence ?


This post came with no question, &nbsp;at all.


It might be that the visitor was to intent to ask about the sum of this numbers ?


Or about their product ? &nbsp;Or about the sum of their squares ?  &nbsp;Or even about their alternate sum ?


What I want to say, &nbsp;the only one right treatment for such posts is to re-direct them into the &nbsp;GARBAGE &nbsp;BOX.


With the noble objective to educate their authors . . . - - - to teach them to respect the forum's rules and to respect the tutors.



Have a nice day, &nbsp;to everybody . . .
