*Nine is strongly associated with the [[Chinese dragon]], a symbol of magic and power. There are nine forms of the dragon, it is described in terms of nine attributes, and it has nine children.  It has 117 scales - 81 [[yin and yang|yang]] (masculine, heavenly) and 36  [[yin and yang|yin]] (feminine, earthly). All three numbers are multiples of 9 (9×13=117, 9×9=81, 9×4=36)<ref>{{cite book|title=Myths of China And Japan|author=Donald Alexander Mackenzie|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=vzbeLy4TBa4C&pg=PA46&dq=chinese+dragon+scales+yin+36|publisher=Kessinger|year=2005|isbn=1-4179-6429-4}}</ref> as well as having the same [[digital root]] of 9.
 
*The dragon often symbolizes the [[Emperor of China|Emperor]], and the number nine can be found in many ornaments in the [[Forbidden City]].
 
*The circular altar platform (''Earthly Mount'') of the [[Temple of Heaven]] has one circular marble plate in the center, surrounded by a ring of nine plates, then by a ring of 18 plates, and so on, for a total of nine rings, with the outermost having 81=9&times;9 plates.

*The [[nine-rank system]] was a civil service nomination system used during certain Chinese dynasties.
 
===Ancient Egypt===

* It takes nine days (for an anvil) to fall from heaven to earth, and nine more to fall from earth to [[Tartarus]]--a place of torment in the [[Greek_underworld|underworld]].
 
===Japanese culture===
*The Japanese consider nine to be unlucky because in Japanese the word for nine sounds similar to the word for "pain" or "distress" ({{linktext|苦}}, ''kyū''){{Citation needed|date=April 2008}}.
 
== Evolution of the glyph ==
{{See also|Hindu-Arabic numeral system}}
According to Georges Ifrah, the origin of the 9 integers can be attributed to the ancient Indian civilization, and was adopted by subsequent civilizations in conjunction with the [[0 (number)|0]].<ref>{{cite book|title=From One to Zero: A Universal History of Numbers|year=1985|author=Georges Ifrah|publisher=Viking|isbn=0-670-37395-8}}</ref>
 
[[File:Evo9glyph.svg|x50px|right]]
In the beginning, various Indians wrote 9 similar to the modern closing question mark without the bottom dot. The Kshatrapa, Andhra and Gupta started curving the bottom vertical line coming up with a [[3 (number)|3]]-look-alike. The Nagari continued the bottom stroke to make a circle and enclose the 3-look-alike, in much the same way that the ''@'' character encircles a lowercase ''a''. As time went on, the enclosing circle became bigger and its line continued beyond the circle downwards, as the 3-look-alike became smaller. Soon, all that was left of the 3-look-alike was a squiggle. The Arabs simply connected that squiggle to the downward stroke at the middle and subsequent European change was purely cosmetic.
 
While the shape of the 9 character has an [[Ascender (typography)|ascender]] in most modern [[typeface]]s, in typefaces with [[text figures]] the character usually has a [[descender]], as, for example, in [[File:TextFigs196.png]].
 
This numeral resembles an inverted ''6''. To disambiguate the two on objects and documents that can be inverted, the 9 is often underlined, as is done for the 6. Another distinction from the 6 is that it is often handwritten with a straight stem.
 
==Idioms and popular phrases==
*"A [[cat-o'-nine-tails]] suggests perfect punishment and atonement." --[[Robert Ripley]].
"A stitch in time saves Nine"
*The word "K-9" pronounces the same as ''canine'' and is used in many [[United States|U.S.]] police departments to denote the [[police dog]] unit. Despite not sounding like the translation of the word ''canine'' in other languages, many police and military units around the world use the same designation.
*Someone dressed "to the nines" is dressed up as much as they can be.
*In [[urban culture]], "nine" is a [[slang]] word for a [[9mm]] [[pistol]] or [[homicide]], the latter from the Illinois Criminal Code for homicide.

==Mathematics==
Nine is a [[composite number]], its proper [[divisor]]s being [[1 (number)|1]] and  [[3 (number)|3]]. It is 3 times 3 and hence the third [[square number]]. Nine is a [[Motzkin number]]. It is the first composite [[lucky number]], along with the first composite odd number.
 
Nine is the highest single-digit number in the [[decimal|decimal system]].  It is the second non-unitary square [[prime number|prime]] of the form (p<sup>2</sup>) and the first that is odd. All subsequent squares of this form are odd. It has a unique [[aliquot sum]] [[4 (number)|4]] which is itself a square prime. Nine is; and can be, the only square prime with an aliquot sum of the same form. The [[aliquot sequence]] of nine has 5 members (9,4,3,1,0) this number being the second composite member of the 3-aliquot tree. It is the aliquot sum of only one number the discrete semiprime [[15]].
 
There are nine [[Heegner number]]s.<ref>Bryan Bunch, ''The Kingdom of Infinite Number''. New York: W. H. Freeman & Company (2000): 93</ref>
 
Since 9&nbsp;=&nbsp;3<sup>2<sup>1</sup></sup>, 9 is an [[exponential factorial]].
 
8 and 9 form a [[Ruth-Aaron pair]] under the second definition that counts repeated prime factors as often as they occur.
 
In bases 12, 18 and 24, nine is a 1-[[automorphic number]] and in base 6 a 2-automorphic number (displayed as '13').
 
A [[polygon]] with nine sides is called a [[nonagon]] or enneagon.<ref>Robert Dixon, ''Mathographics''. New York: Courier Dover Publications: 24</ref> A group of nine of anything is called an ennead.
 
In [[decimal|base 10]] a positive number is divisible by nine [[if and only if]] its [[digital root]] is 9.<ref>[[Martin Gardner]], ''A Gardner's Workout: Training the Mind and Entertaining the Spirit''. New York: A. K. Peters (2001): 155</ref> That is, if you multiply nine by any [[natural number]], and repeatedly add the digits of the answer until it is just one digit, you will end up with nine:
 
* 2 × 9 = 18 (1 + 8 = 9)
* 3 × 9 = 27 (2 + 7 = 9)
* 9 × 9 = 81 (8 + 1 = 9)
* 121 × 9 = 1089 (1 + 0 + 8 + 9 = 18; 1 + 8 = 9)
* 234 × 9 = 2106 (2 + 1 + 0 + 6 = 9)
* 578329 × 9 = 5204961 (5 + 2 + 0 + 4 + 9 + 6 + 1 = 27; 2 + 7 = 9)
* 482729235601 × 9 = 4344563120409 (4 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 9 = 45; 4 + 5 = 9)
There are other interesting patterns involving multiples of nine:
* 12345679 x 9 = 111111111
* 12345679 x 18 = 222222222
* 12345679 x 81 = 999999999
This works for all the multiples of 9.
''n''&nbsp;=&nbsp;[[3 (number)|3]] is the only other ''n'' > 1 such that a number is divisible by ''n'' if and only if its digital root is ''n''. In [[positional notation|base N]], the [[divisor]]s of N&nbsp;−&nbsp;1 have this property. Another consequence of 9 being 10&nbsp;−&nbsp;1, is that it is also a [[Kaprekar number]].
 
The difference between a base-10 positive integer and the sum of its digits is a whole multiple of nine. Examples:
* The sum of the digits of 41 is 5, and 41-5 = 36. The digital root of 36 is 3+6 = 9, which, as explained above, demonstrates that it is divisible by nine.
* The sum of the digits of 35967930 is 3+5+9+6+7+9+3+0 = 42, and 35967930-42 = 35967888. The digital root of 35967888 is 3+5+9+6+7+8+8+8 = 54, 5+4 = 9.
 
Subtracting two base-10 positive integers that are transpositions of each other yields a number that is a whole multiple of nine. Examples:
* 41 - 14 = 27 (2 + 7 = 9)
* 36957930 - 35967930 = 990000, a multiple of nine.
This works regardless of the number of digits that are transposed. For example, the largest transposition of 35967930 is 99765330 (all digits in descending order) and its smallest transposition is 03356799 (all digits in ascending order); subtracting pairs of these numbers produces:
* 99765330 - 35967930 = 63797400; 6+3+7+9+7+4+0+0 = 36; 3+6 = 9.
* 99765330 - 03356799 = 96408531; 9+6+4+0+8+5+3+1 = 36; 3+6 = 9.
* 35967930 - 03356799 = 32611131; 3+2+6+1+1+1+3+1 = 18; 1+8 = 9.
 
[[Casting out nines]] is a quick way of testing the calculations of sums, differences, products, and quotients of integers, known as long ago as the 12th Century.<ref>[[Cajori, Florian]] (1991, 5e) ''A History of Mathematics'', AMS. ISBN 0-8218-2102-4. p.91</ref>
 
Every prime in a [[Cunningham chain]] of the first kind with a length of 4 or greater is congruent to 9 mod 10 (the only exception being the chain 2, 5, 11, 23, 47).
 
Six recurring nines appear in the decimal places 762 through 767 of [[pi]]. This is known as the [[Feynman point]].
 
If an odd [[perfect number]] is of the form 36''k'' + 9, it has at least nine distinct prime factors.<ref>Eyob Delele Yirdaw, "[http://arxiv.org/abs/0804.0152v1 Proving Touchard's Theorem from Euler's Form]" ArXiv preprint.</ref>
 
If you divide a number by the amount of 9s corresponding to its number of digits, the number is turned into a [[repeating decimal]]. (e.g. 274/999 = 0.274274274274...)
 
Nine is the binary complement of number [[6 (number)|six]]:

9 = 1001
6 = 0110</pre>

===Probability===
In [[probability]], the '''nine''' is a [[logarithmic measure]] of probability of an event, defined as the negative of the base-[[10 (number)|10]] [[logarithm]] of the probability of the event's [[Probability axioms|complement]].
For example, an event that is 99% likely to occur has an unlikelihood of 1% or 0.01, which amounts to −log<sub>10</sub>&nbsp;0.01&nbsp;=&nbsp;2 nines of probability.
[[0 (number)|Zero]] probability gives zero nines (−log<sub>10</sub>&nbsp;1&nbsp;=&nbsp;0).  A 100% probability is considered to be impossible in most circumstances: that results in [[infinite improbability]].  The effectivity of processes and the [[availability]] of [[systems]] can be expressed (as a rule of thumb, not explicitly) as a series of "nines". For example, [[5 nines|"five nines" (99.999%)]] availability implies a total [[downtime]] of no more than five minutes per year - typically a very high degree of [[:wikt:reliability|reliability]]; but never 100%.

With additional buyer's stamp responsibility imposed on residential properties, buyers change their focus to commercial and industrial properties. I imagine every property purchasers need their property funding to understand in value. According to Georges Ifrah, the origin of the 9 integers can be attributed to the ancient Indian civilization, and was adopted by subsequent civilizations in conjunction with the 0.[3]

In the beginning, various Indians wrote 9 similar to the modern closing question mark without the bottom dot. The Kshatrapa, Andhra and Gupta started curving the bottom vertical line coming up with a 3-look-alike. The Nagari continued the bottom stroke to make a circle and enclose the 3-look-alike, in much the same way that the @ character encircles a lowercase a. As time went on, the enclosing circle became bigger and its line continued beyond the circle downwards, as the 3-look-alike became smaller. Soon, all that was left of the 3-look-alike was a squiggle. The Arabs simply connected that squiggle to the downward stroke at the middle and subsequent European change was purely cosmetic.

While the shape of the 9 character has an ascender in most modern typefaces, in typefaces with text figures the character usually has a descender, as, for example, in .

This numeral resembles an inverted 6. To disambiguate the two on objects and documents that can be inverted, the 9 is often underlined, as is done for the 6. Another distinction from the 6 is that it is often handwritten with a straight stem.

Literature

Mathematics

Nine is a composite number, its proper divisors being 1 and 3. It is 3 times 3 and hence the third square number. Nine is a Motzkin number. It is the first composite lucky number, along with the first composite odd number.

Nine is the highest single-digit number in the decimal system. It is the second non-unitary square prime of the form (p2) and the first that is odd. All subsequent squares of this form are odd. It has a unique aliquot sum 4 which is itself a square prime. Nine is; and can be, the only square prime with an aliquot sum of the same form. The aliquot sequence of nine has 5 members (9,4,3,1,0) this number being the second composite member of the 3-aliquot tree. It is the aliquot sum of only one number the discrete semiprime 15.

There are nine Heegner numbers.[7]

Since 9 = 321, 9 is an exponential factorial.

8 and 9 form a Ruth-Aaron pair under the second definition that counts repeated prime factors as often as they occur.

In bases 12, 18 and 24, nine is a 1-automorphic number and in base 6 a 2-automorphic number (displayed as '13').

A polygon with nine sides is called a nonagon or enneagon.[8] A group of nine of anything is called an ennead.

In base 10 a positive number is divisible by nine if and only if its digital root is 9.[9] That is, if you multiply nine by any natural number, and repeatedly add the digits of the answer until it is just one digit, you will end up with nine:

  • 2 × 9 = 18 (1 + 8 = 9)
  • 3 × 9 = 27 (2 + 7 = 9)
  • 9 × 9 = 81 (8 + 1 = 9)
  • 121 × 9 = 1089 (1 + 0 + 8 + 9 = 18; 1 + 8 = 9)
  • 234 × 9 = 2106 (2 + 1 + 0 + 6 = 9)
  • 578329 × 9 = 5204961 (5 + 2 + 0 + 4 + 9 + 6 + 1 = 27; 2 + 7 = 9)
  • 482729235601 × 9 = 4344563120409 (4 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 9 = 45; 4 + 5 = 9)

There are other interesting patterns involving multiples of nine:

  • 12345679 x 9 = 111111111
  • 12345679 x 18 = 222222222
  • 12345679 x 81 = 999999999

This works for all the multiples of 9. n = 3 is the only other n > 1 such that a number is divisible by n if and only if its digital root is n. In base N, the divisors of N − 1 have this property. Another consequence of 9 being 10 − 1, is that it is also a Kaprekar number.

The difference between a base-10 positive integer and the sum of its digits is a whole multiple of nine. Examples:

  • The sum of the digits of 41 is 5, and 41-5 = 36. The digital root of 36 is 3+6 = 9, which, as explained above, demonstrates that it is divisible by nine.
  • The sum of the digits of 35967930 is 3+5+9+6+7+9+3+0 = 42, and 35967930-42 = 35967888. The digital root of 35967888 is 3+5+9+6+7+8+8+8 = 54, 5+4 = 9.

Subtracting two base-10 positive integers that are transpositions of each other yields a number that is a whole multiple of nine. Examples:

  • 41 - 14 = 27 (2 + 7 = 9)
  • 36957930 - 35967930 = 990000, a multiple of nine.

This works regardless of the number of digits that are transposed. For example, the largest transposition of 35967930 is 99765330 (all digits in descending order) and its smallest transposition is 03356799 (all digits in ascending order); subtracting pairs of these numbers produces:

  • 99765330 - 35967930 = 63797400; 6+3+7+9+7+4+0+0 = 36; 3+6 = 9.
  • 99765330 - 03356799 = 96408531; 9+6+4+0+8+5+3+1 = 36; 3+6 = 9.
  • 35967930 - 03356799 = 32611131; 3+2+6+1+1+1+3+1 = 18; 1+8 = 9.

Casting out nines is a quick way of testing the calculations of sums, differences, products, and quotients of integers, known as long ago as the 12th Century.[10]

Every prime in a Cunningham chain of the first kind with a length of 4 or greater is congruent to 9 mod 10 (the only exception being the chain 2, 5, 11, 23, 47).

Six recurring nines appear in the decimal places 762 through 767 of pi. This is known as the Feynman point.

If an odd perfect number is of the form 36k + 9, it has at least nine distinct prime factors.[11]

If you divide a number by the amount of 9s corresponding to its number of digits, the number is turned into a repeating decimal. (e.g. 274/999 = 0.274274274274...)

Nine is the binary complement of number six:

9 = 1001
6 = 0110

Probability

In probability, the nine is a logarithmic measure of probability of an event, defined as the negative of the base-10 logarithm of the probability of the event's complement. For example, an event that is 99% likely to occur has an unlikelihood of 1% or 0.01, which amounts to −log10 0.01 = 2 nines of probability. Zero probability gives zero nines (−log10 1 = 0). A 100% probability is considered to be impossible in most circumstances: that results in infinite improbability. The effectivity of processes and the availability of systems can be expressed (as a rule of thumb, not explicitly) as a series of "nines". For example, "five nines" (99.999%) availability implies a total downtime of no more than five minutes per year - typically a very high degree of reliability; but never 100%.
