  2. Random number generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation

    Dice are an example of a mechanical hardware random number generator. When a cubical die is rolled, a random number from 1 to 6 is obtained. Random number generation is a process by which, often by means of a random number generator (RNG), a sequence of numbers or symbols that cannot be reasonably predicted better than by random chance is generated.

  3. Googol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googol

    Kasner used it to illustrate the difference between an unimaginably large number and infinity, and in this role it is sometimes used in teaching mathematics. To put in perspective the size of a googol, the mass of an electron, just under 10 −30 kg , can be compared to the mass of the visible universe, estimated at between 10 50 and 10 60 kg . [5]

    However, generally they are considerably slower (typically by a factor 2–10) than fast, non-cryptographic random number generators. These include: Stream ciphers. Popular choices are Salsa20 or ChaCha (often with the number of rounds reduced to 8 for speed), ISAAC, HC-128 and RC4. Block ciphers in counter mode.

  5. Lucky number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_number

    Lucky number. In number theory, a lucky number is a natural number in a set which is generated by a certain "sieve". This sieve is similar to the Sieve of Eratosthenes that generates the primes, but it eliminates numbers based on their position in the remaining set, instead of their value (or position in the initial set of natural numbers). [1]

  6. Prime number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number

    A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, 1 × 5 or 5 × 1, involve 5 itself. However, 4 is composite because it is a ...

  7. Hardware random number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_random_number...

    A USB-pluggable hardware true random number generator. In computing, a hardware random number generator (HRNG), true random number generator (TRNG), non-deterministic random bit generator (NRBG), or physical random number generator is a device that generates random numbers from a physical process capable of producing entropy (in other words, the device always has access to a physical entropy ...

  8. Googolplex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googolplex

    Writing the number would ultimately hasten the heat death of the universe: if a person can write two digits per second, then writing a googolplex would take about 1.58 × 10 92 years, which is about 1.1 × 10 82 times the accepted age of the universe, and each digit written would result in an increase of entropy by the second law of thermodynamics.

  9. 1000 (number) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1000_(number)

    1000 is the element of multiplicity in a toroidal board in the n -Queens problem, [8] with respective indicator of 25 [9] and count of 51. [10] [11] 1000 is the number of strict partitions of 50 containing the sum of no subset of the parts.
