Number six is a perfect number

The Pythagoreans acknowledged number 6 to be the first perfect number.

 

In mathematics a perfect number is when all the numbers divisors (excluding the number itself) are added, the sum equals the number itself. 1+2+3=6

 

In addition when including the number itself and dividing by two the result is the number itself. (1+2+3+6)/2 = 6

 

Perfect numbers are rare. The Ancient Greeks recognized four perfect numbers: 6 – 28 – 496 – 8,128. Throughout history perfect numbers have fascinated mathematicians and more perfect numbers have been discovered.

 

The number 6 is a symbol of completeness.

 

Number 6 symbolizes beauty and high ideals.

 

It goes without saying; I live at number six.
