For some reason, I was just thinking of the infinite and different ways to represent 1. 1 = 1*1 1 = 1*2 - 1*1 1 = 1*3 - 1*2 1 = 4-3 1 = 3 - 1 - 1 1 = 3 - 2 .... lol. ;^) These are using all natural numbers. Any of them will do: 1 = 42-41 So, in this like of thinking 1 can be comprised of math in multiple ways? Is that a fucked up line of thinking? ;^o
