    To "cast out nines" from a single number, its decimal digits can be simply added together to obtain its so-called digit sum. The digit sum of 2946, for example is 2 + 9 + 4 + 6 = 21. Since 21 = 2946 − 325 × 9, the effect of taking the digit sum of 2946 is to "cast out" 325 lots of 9 from it. If the digit 9 is ignored when summing the digits ...

    1/21/4 + 1/8 − 1/16 + ⋯. Demonstration that 1 21 4 + 1 8 − 1 16 + ⋯ = 1 3. In mathematics, the infinite series 1/21/4 + 1/8 − 1/16 + ⋯ is a simple example of an alternating series that converges absolutely . It is a geometric series whose first term is 1 2 and whose common ratio is − 1 2, so its sum is.
