FUN WITH NUMBERS

There is an infinite number of numbers that have the same value whether added or multiplied. They follow this pattern:

3 + 1-1/2 = 3 x 1-1/2 = 4-1/2

4 + 1-1/3 = 4 x 1-1/3 = 5-1/3
5 + 1-1/4 = 5 x 1-1/4 = 6-1/4
...

1000 + 1=1/999 = 1000 x 1-1/999 = 1001-1/999
etc.

However, there is only one integer that can be added to itself and multiplied with itself with the same result:

2 + 2 = 4 and 2 x 2 = 4
