About the Number 126 (one hundred twenty-six)

MathBabbler created a nBAB for the number 125 on 29 March 2009. While working on that nBAB, he learned that 125 was a Ruth-Aaron pair with 126. On 31 March 2009, MathBabbler and his CSC100 class wrote a C program that determines if a number is a member of the Ruth-Aaron pair. This nBAB about the number 126 was the second nBAB to use the MBNA's Ruth-Aaron program.

[Wikipedia] 126 is a Friedman number because it is an integer which, in base-10, is the "result of an expression using all its own digits in combination with any of the four basic arithmetic operators and sometimes exponentiation."

   126 = 6 * 21

Observe...

   sqrt(126) / (ln(126) + log(126)) = 1.6182117

1.6182117 minus Phi is 0.000177711762; in other words, the square-root of 126 divided-by the natural log of 126 plus the common log of 126 approximates the Golden Ratio.
