Brahmagupta - Fibonacci Identity

                                                      Brahmagupta - Fibonacci Identity 

There is a very famous identity used in algebra known as – Brahmagupta – Fibonacci identity that expresses the product of two sums of two squares as a sum of two squares in two different ways.

                        (a² + b²) (c² + d²) = (ac – bd)² + (ad + bc)²      

                                                  = ( ac + bd)² + (ad – bc)²

For example:-

(1² + 4²) (2² + 7²) = (2 – 28)² + (7 + 8)²

                            = 26² + 15²

And

(1² + 4²) (2² + 7²) = (2 + 28)² + (7 – 8)²

                            = 30² + 1²

Mathematically 101

                                                               101

1. One hundred one is a sexy prime as well as a sexy prime triplet. Sexy primes differ from each other by 6. If p is a prime and p + 6 is also a prime then it is called a sexy prime.
Example:- (5,11), (7,13), (11,17), (13,19), (17,23), (23,29), (31,37), (37,43), (41,47), (47,53), (53,59), (61,67), (67,73), (73,79), (83,89), (97,103), (101,107)

2. 101 is also a sexy prime triplet. If p, p+6 and p + 12 are all prime then it is called sexy prime triplet.
Example:- (5,11,17), (7,13,19), (17,23,29), (31,37,43), (47,53,59), (67,73,79), (97,103,109), (101,107,113),

3. It is the sum of 5 consecutive primes
                                       13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 

4. It can be written as the sum of first 5 factorial with alternate sign.
                                  101 = 5! - 4! + 3! - 2! + 1!

5. It is a palindrome number and a palindrome prime.

6. It is the largest prime in form of 10^n + 1
                                   101 = 10^2 + 1

7. There are 101 digits in the product of the 39 successive primes produced by the formula n² + n + 41, where n = 1 to 39. This formula was used by Charles Babbage to demonstrate the capabilities of his Difference Engine (1819-1822))
