\section{The Floor \mbox{\boldmath $\lfloor\cdot\rfloor$} And Ceiling \mbox{\boldmath $\lceil\cdot\rceil$} Functions}

|
\label{cmtn0:sfcf0}
|
34 |
|
|
|
35 |
|
|
The \emph{floor} function, denoted $\lfloor\cdot\rfloor$, is defined to return
|
36 |
|
|
the largest integer not larger than the argument. For example,
|
37 |
|
|
$\lfloor 3 \rfloor = \lfloor 3.9999 \rfloor = 3$. For negative arguments, the definition
|
38 |
|
|
is identical: $\lfloor -4 \rfloor = \lfloor -3.9 \rfloor = -4$.
|
39 |
|
|
|
40 |
|
|
The \emph{ceiling} function, denoted $\lceil\cdot\rceil$, is defined to return
|
41 |
|
|
the smallest integer not less than the argument. For example,
|
42 |
|
|
$\lceil 3.0001 \rceil = \lceil 4 \rceil = 4$. For negative arguments, the definition
|
43 |
|
|
is identical: $\lceil -4 \rceil = \lceil -4.9 \rceil = -4$.
|
44 |
|
|
|
45 |
|
|
Note that the definitions presented above for negative arguments
|
46 |
|
|
differ from what is commonly implemented in spreadsheet software and other consumer
|
47 |
|
|
software.
|
48 |
|
|
|
49 |
|
|
It can be verfied easily that for
|
50 |
|
|
$a \in \vworkintsetnonneg$, $b \in \vworkintsetpos$,
|
51 |
|
|
|
52 |
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
53 |
|
|
\label{eq:cmtn0:sfcf0:01}
|
54 |
|
|
\frac{a}{b} = \left\lfloor\frac{a}{b}\right\rfloor + \frac{a \bmod b}{b}
|
55 |
|
|
\end{equation}
|
56 |
|
|
|
57 |
|
|
\noindent{}and consequently that
|
58 |
|
|
|
59 |
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
60 |
|
|
\label{eq:cmtn0:sfcf0:02}
|
61 |
|
|
\left\lfloor\frac{a}{b}\right\rfloor = \frac{a}{b} - \frac{a \bmod b}{b} .
|
62 |
|
|
\end{equation}
|
63 |
|
|
|
64 |
|
|
\noindent{}(\ref{eq:cmtn0:sfcf0:02}) is a very useful identity for
|
65 |
|
|
decomposing expressions involving the \emph{floor($\cdot$)} function.

\subsection{Tests For Divisibility By 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, And 11}
|
74 |
|
|
|
75 |
|
|
It is often useful to be able to inspect a radix-10 integer and quickly
|
76 |
|
|
determine if it can be divided by a small prime number. This section
|
77 |
|
|
presents tests which can be used to easily determine divisibility by
|
78 |
|
|
2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.

David G. Radcliffe \cite{bibref:i:davidgradcliffe}
|
129 |
|
|
responded with a beautiful proof, which is presented below
|
130 |
|
|
as a theorem.
|
131 |
|
|
|
132 |
|
|
\begin{vworktheoremstatement}
|
133 |
|
|
No radix-10 positive integral power of 2 (i.e. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.), with
|
134 |
|
|
any leading 0's removed, can be used
|
135 |
|
|
to form another radix-10 positive integral power of 2 by simple rearrangement
|
136 |
|
|
of the digits.
|
137 |
|
|
\end{vworktheoremstatement}
|
138 |
|
|
\begin{vworktheoremproof}
|
139 |
|
|
Suppose that $x$ and $y$ are two different powers of 2, $y>x$, and that
|
140 |
|
|
the digits of $x$ can be rearranged to form $y$. $y<10x$, since both
|
141 |
|
|
$x$ and $y$ must have the same number of digits. Thus, there
|
142 |
|
|
are three possibilities, $y=2x$, $y=4x$, or $y=8x$.
|
143 |
|
|
|
144 |
|
|
Since $x$ and $y$ have the same digits, but in a different order,
|
145 |
|
|
the sum of the digits of $x$ is equal to the sum of the digits of $y$.
|
146 |
|
|
It follows that $y-x$ is divisible by 9. (This follows because
|
147 |
|
|
the sum of the digits of an integer $i$, summing the intermediate
|
148 |
|
|
sums as many times as necessary to yield a single-digit result,
|
149 |
|
|
yield either 9 implying that $i \; mod \; 9 = 0$, or yielding $i \; mod \; 9$.
|
150 |
|
|
If the digits of $x$ and $y$ are the same,
|
151 |
|
|
the sums of their digits are the same, thus $(x \; mod \; 9) = (y \; mod \; 9)$,
|
152 |
|
|
which implies that $((y-x) \; mod \; 9) = 0$, i.e. that $y-x$ is divisible
|
153 |
|
|
by 9.)
|
154 |
|
|
|
155 |
|
|
If $y \in \{ 2x, 4x, 8x \}$, then $y-x \in \{ x, 3x, 7x \}$. It would
|
156 |
|
|
follow that $x$ is divisible by 3, a contradiction.

\section{The Pigeonhole Principle}
|
164 |
|
|
\label{cmtn0:sphp0}
|
165 |
|
|
|
166 |
|
|
The \index{pigeonhole principle}\emph{pigeonhole principle} is a statement
|
167 |
|
|
that if $m$ items are placed into $n$ slots, with $m > n$, then at least one
|
168 |
|
|
slot will contain more than one item. This is also known as
|
169 |
|
|
\index{Dirichlet's box principle}\emph{Dirichlet's box principle}.
|
170 |
|
|
|
171 |
|
|
A related statement is that $m$ items are placed into $n$ slots,
|
172 |
|
|
with $m < n$, then at least one
|
173 |
|
|
slot will be empty.
|
174 |
|
|
|
175 |
|
|
Despite its simplicity, the pigeonhole principle is the basis for many important
|
176 |
|
|
proofs and observations in number theory.
