Most of us are afraid of mathematics as we need to develop high skill in logical thinking and have to go through constant practices to master this subject. Anyway, it is one of the most important subjects and is so called mother of science. Every pure science subject is dependent on math either directly or indirectly. Anyway, lots of interesting facts can be found in mathematics which is really very interesting. Have a look on the following examples:

1. 2 is the only prime number which is an even number.
2. The largest known primes are ones of the forms (2^m - 1).
3. 1 x 9 + 2 = 11
   12 x 9 + 3 = 111
   123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
   1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
   12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
   123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
   1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
   12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
   123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111
4. 1 x 1 = 1
   11 x 11 = 121
   111 x 111 = 12321
   1111 x 1111 = 1234321
   11111 x 11111 = 123454321
   111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
   1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
   11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
   111111111 x 111111111=12345678987654321
5. 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321
6. Choose any prime number greater than 3.  Then square that number and add 14. Now divide it with 3. The remainder will always be 3.
