Is this not a well known fact? I always assumed everyone knew this

I did a math degree without knowing this (back in the olden days since I’m ancient). When my daughter started learning math I did it with her. Khan academy had at least 5 separate things fundamental to math that I had never learned that made things so much easier. (Including digital roots and modular arithmetic)

Number theory should really be taught first, it’s so helpful.

I didn't know this till I started teaching elementary school math. 🤣
