Facts about the number 2010

January 4th, 2010 | Categories: games, general math | Tags:

I’m really late doing this article and it has already been done very well by MathNotations and 360.  There’s also a nice game involving the number 2010 over at Let’s play math.  They didn’t mention this fact though

2010 = 1+2-(3-4-5)*6*7*8-9

Which I think is nice.  Do you have any more interesting facts about the number 2010?

    Someone on reddit.com posted the following about 2010:

    2010 = 2*3*5*(7+11+13+17+19)

    which is based on the same principle as yours, but using the first eight prime numbers, and kind of simpler.
