comment Force required to push an object?
@fgp Oops. Yeah. I wasn't thinking about using the slope distance for force calculation, but only the rise distance... you're right.

comment Force required to push an object?
This will only give you the vertical component, as the only distance that counts is in the vertical direction. (It is possible to get the overall force from this, but this is just a warning that says you're not done when you finish this post.)

comment Can someone please explain $e$ in layman's term?
@DanielRust Just for the record, I've seen others do so as well... I, personally, don't see a problem with it until one is pointed out.

comment How to prove this inequality by using induction?
Just wondering, how is it that you can claim $x\ne y$ and not lose generality?

@Senjai It takes a while. :) I just kept googling when I didn't understand something.

comment Largest prime factor of 600851475143
@Senjai As for books... I don't know. I picked up my knowledge from Wikipedia and Wolfram Alpha. As for the computationally extensive nature of finding primes: The Big-O asymptotic nature of a prime sieve is the same as that of factoring the way you are. However, Big-O is not the only thing that matters--a prime sieve takes into account the primes its already found, only has to go to the $\sqrt{n}$ to find all primes under $n$, and uses addition operations instead of division. (Small benefit, but its still there.) I'd suggest looking at the Sieve of Eratosthenes‎.
