Question Number 6491 by Temp last updated on 29/Jun/16

Is it possible such that two trancendental numbers add or multiply to give a whole number?

π is transcendental. (1/π) is also transcendental. π×(1/π)=1

$$\pi\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{transcendental}. \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\pi}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{also}\:\mathrm{transcendental}. \\ $$$$\pi×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\pi}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$

π×(2/π)=2, where (2/π)≠π^(-1)

$$\pi×\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\pi}=\mathrm{2},\:{where}\:\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\pi}\neq\pi^{-\mathrm{1}} \\ $$

The way I see it, the multiplicitive form ab=c, a,b=transendental, c=integer it seems that ab=c only holds true for if a and b share a relationship of: a=(1/b) ∴ab=(b/b)=c I am unsure if for some two different transendental numbers other than when aa^(−1) =1 exist. e.g. eπ=z, z∉Z

$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{way}\:\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{see}\:\mathrm{it},\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{multiplicitive} \\ $$$$\mathrm{form}\:{ab}={c},\:{a},{b}=\mathrm{transendental},\:{c}={integer} \\ $$$$\mathrm{it}\:\mathrm{seems}\:\mathrm{that}\:{ab}={c}\:\mathrm{only}\:\mathrm{holds}\:\mathrm{true}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{if} \\ $$$${a}\:\mathrm{and}\:{b}\:\mathrm{share}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{relationship}\:\mathrm{of}: \\ $$$${a}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{b}} \\ $$$$\therefore{ab}=\frac{{b}}{{b}}={c} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{am}\:\mathrm{unsure}\:\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{some}\:\mathrm{two}\:\mathrm{different} \\ $$$$\mathrm{transendental}\:\mathrm{numbers}\:{other}\:{than}\:\mathrm{when}\:{aa}^{−\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{exist}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{e}.\mathrm{g}.\:{e}\pi={z},\:{z}\notin\mathbb{Z} \\ $$

Say π,e and other transidental numbers, which can not be derived from one another by +,−,×,÷,power,root are said to be root-transedentals. π,−π,π^(−1) ,nπ,((mπ)/n)(m,n∈Z) are of same roots.e and π are root-transcidentals. Now what you want to say, can be said “Sum or product of two transidentals of different roots can′t be whole numbers” Am I right?

ab=n⇒b=(n/a) So if product of any 2 numbers is a whole number then second number b=a/n.

e^(π(√(163))) had been conjectured around 1914 by the indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan . In May 1974 John Brillo of the university of Arizona managed to prove that e^(π(√(163))) =262 537 412 640 768 744

W. alpha clearly states that it is a trancendental number. It is almost an integer.

I just realised for a+b=c, a,b∈T c∈Z let a=π, b=n−a, n∈Z ∴a+b=π+n−π a+b=n

If sum/product is algebraic the second transcendental number can be derived from the first algebraic number by adding or subtracting the first transcental number. The problem statement implies that that second transcental and first transcendental numbers can be derived using the sum. so the two conditions are contrdictory t_1 +t_2 =n for some n∈Z (1) also second condition is t_1 ≠n−t_1 ∀n∈Z (2) (2) contradicts with (1) same applies for multiplication.
