What equals 104?

Answer 1

There are infinitely many possible answers.

52 + 52, 51 + 53, 50 + 54, ... ,1 + 103, 0 + 104, -1 + 105, ... : there are infinitely many such pairs.

Then consider numbers to 1 decimal place:

51.9 + 52.1, 51.8 + 52.2, 51.7 + 52.3, ... : again, infinitely many pairs.

and then 2 dp:

51.99 + 52.01, 51.98 + 52.02, ...

then 3 dp, 4 dp, 5 dp, all the way to infinitely many dp.

Next, consider triplets:

34 + 35 + 35, 34 + 34 + 36, 34 + 33 + 37 and so on.

Again, with 1 dp, 2 dp, and on and on.

Then start with multiplication.

1*104, 2*52, 3*34.66..., 4*26 etc

and again with 1 dp, 2 dp, and so on.

Then you have other, algebraic functions. But I hope that by now, you have got the point!
