relation of some numbers

hi there,
maybe someone knows how those numbers are related and how i can set up a formula to calculate b from a, or b from a ?? i am totally blind

a -> b
360 -> 90
180 -> 180
120 -> 270
90 -> 360

thanks in advance,

cheers,
ello

Err..well...Just numbers couldn't be related imo, just like 9 is 3 x 3 but what do you mean exactly? You cant calculate 90 from 360

But if you are asking for forumulas of things like triangles, there are those relations, of course.

well, of course i can create formulas for each of those numbers, but not one formula which works for all. that is my problem.

what exactly do you mean by things like triangles in this context? how is 120 and 270 related in a triangle the same way like 180 and 180 ??

I thought you could mean things like that in a triangle if you are adding all those angles you are always getting 180°.

But I think I don't get the point

Where did you get these numbers from? What's the context? Why do you need a formula?

Superku asked the questions I wanted to ask

i am getting those numbers while using an internal object of another program. say, the program gives me a 90 when i input 360 and so on. and to be able to mimic that behaviour i need the secret formula...

(Are you doing an online riddle? Just curious.)

Then post more numbers/ relations, please.

the function is

f = 32400/x


because:

a / 270 = 120
a = 270*120
a = 32400

test:

32400 / 320 = 90
32400 / 90 = 320
32400 / 120 = 270

wow, thank you very much damocles.. i think i'd never figured this one out.. agyin, many thanks to you

no problem

Hey Damocles,

Can I ask HOW you worked it out?

Was it just "mental gymnastics" or is there some kind of formula
or process or trick that can be followed for logically 'work out'
the answer?

Something general purpose that is.
I often come up with a series of numbers from various sources and 'wish'
I had a formula to produce them.

FYI - I am NOT looking for a lite-c solution here, Im looking for
general mathematical or analytical concepts.

If its hard to explain, I would be happy with some search-phrases so I can google it.

Thanks muchly dude...

Well, actually im not even good in math.

I took the provided numbers an plottet them on a graph.
Then i realized it was not linear, but looking more like a
"1/x" function.

Then i just looked where the "1=1" "elevation" was,
(270)

From that is was just a bit tinkering with the calcualtor.

Not very impresive I suppose.

More propper would be some regressive approximation Math probably,
but thats stuff for the Math guys here.

Ah well...

Regardless of whether you used hyper-mathematics or not,
you got the correct results, and that is not to be sniffed at...
