minus-squareManticore@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-21 day agoI might. Then I can subtract 74 to get 74*14, and subtract 28 to get 72*13. I don’t generally do that to ‘weird’ numbers, I usually get closer to multiples of 5, 9, 10, or 11. But a computer stores information differently. Perhaps it moves closer to numbers with simpler binary addresses.
