Divisible Dates












7












$begingroup$


The day of the month, and the month of the year, often divide the year. Most recently it happened on January 3, 2019 because both 1 (January) and 3 divide 2019.



In our era, since 1/1/1, which years have had the most such dates?

    For clarification: Is a divisible date one in which either the day or month divide the year, or one in with both do?

I'm going to go with




1680




factors:




1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,12,14,15,16,20,21,24,28,30




So it hits on




179 days (10 months times 18 days, minus 30th of February)




Method:



Looked up




Highly composite numbers, picked the largest that's smaller than 2019.

      I'd be surprised if you can beat:




      1080. It equals $2^3times3^3times5$, and so covers $1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,15,18,20,24,27,30$ for days and $1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12$ for months.

        I believe I can beat JonMark Perry's answer:




        1260 = 2 x2 x3 x3 x5 x7


        For months, I can get 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, & 12 (10 - same).


        But for days, I get:


        1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12 & 14, 15, 18, 20, 21, 28, 30 (17 - one more than Jon)

                                      I believe I can beat JonMark Perry's answer:




                                      1260 = 2 x2 x3 x3 x5 x7


                                      For months, I can get 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, & 12 (10 - same).


                                      But for days, I get:


                                      1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12 & 14, 15, 18, 20, 21, 28, 30 (17 - one more than Jon)

                                          1 VirtualBox 6.0 provides a new setting called Graphics Controller. There are four options to choose from: None VBoxVGA VMSVGA VBoxSVGA In the user manual I have found this information: Graphics Controller: Specifies the graphics adapter type used by the guest VM. Note that you must install the Guest Additions on the guest VM to specify the VBoxSVGA or VMSVGA graphics controller. The following options are available: – VBoxSVGA: The default graphics controller for new VMs that use Linux or Windows 7 or later. This graphics controller improves performance and 3D support when compared to the legacy VBoxVGA option. – VBoxVGA: Use this graphics controller for legacy guest OSes. This is the default graphics controller for Windows versions before Windows 7. – VMSVGA: Use this graphics controller to emul

Wikimedia Commons: Hudson River Hudsonelva ( Hudson River ) mohikansk Muh-he-kun-ne-tuk ) er ei elv i USA. Ho renn hovudsakleg gjennom delstaten New York, men markerer også ein del av grensa mellom New York og New Jersey. Hudsonelva har namn etter Henry Hudson, ein engelskmann som utforska elva i 1609. Hudsonelva sett frå Bear Mountain Bridge. Kjelda til elva er Tear-of-the-Clouds-sjøen i Adirondackfjella. Ved Albany renn Mohawk-elva saman med henne, og deretter renn ho nesten rett sørover til ho munnar ut i Atlanterhavet mellom Manhattan i New York og New Jersey. Eriekanalen, som blei opna den 26 oktober 1825, bind saman Hudsonelva og Eriesjøen, slik at byane ved Dei store sjøane fekk vasstilgang til A
