>Sayyidina Ali (as) while he was a Khalifa was known for his
mathematical

is
>too smart, I'll ask him such a tough question that he won't be able to
>answer it and I'll have the chance to embarrass him in front of all the
>Arabs .
>
>He asked "Ali, tell me a number, that if we divide it by any number
from
>1-10 the answer will always come in the form of a whole number and not
as
a
>fraction." Ali Looked back at him and said, "Take the number of days in
a
>year and multiply it with the number of days in a week and you will
have
>your answer."
>
>The person got astonished but as he was a Mushrik he still didn't
believe
>Ali. He calculated the answer Ali gave him. To his amazement he came
across
>the following results:
>
>The number of Days in a Year = 360 (in Arabic Calendar)
>
>The Number of Days in a Week = 7
>
>The product of the two numbers = 2520
>
>Now...
>
>2520 ÷ 1 == 2520
>
>2520 ÷ 2 == 1260
>
>2520 ÷ 3 == 840
>
>2520 ÷ 4 == 630
>
>2520 ÷ 5 == 504
>
>2520 ÷ 6 == 420
>
>2520 ÷ 7 == 360
>
>2520 ÷ 8 == 315
>
>2520 ÷ 9 == 280

>In another occasion...
>
>A person was about to die, and before dying he wrote his Will which
went
>as
>follows...
>
>"I have 17 Camels, and I have three sons. Divide my Camels in such a
way,
>that My eldest son gets half of them, the second one gets 1/3rd of the
>total
>and my youngest son gets 1/9th of the total number of Camels"
>
>After his death when the relatives read his will they got extremely
>perplexed and said to each other that how can we divide 17 camels like
>this.
>
>So after a long hard thought they decided that there was only one man
in
>Arabia who could help them: Ali Ibne Abi Taalib.
>
>So they all came to the door of Ali and put forward their problem.
>
>Ali said, "Ok. I will divide the camels as per the man's will. I will
lend
>one of my camels to the total which makes it 18 (17+1), now lets divide
as
>per his will"
>
>The Eldest gets 1/2 of 18 == 9
>
>The second one gets 1/3 of 18 == 6
>
>and The Youngest gets 1/9 of 18 == 2
>
>Now the total number of camels == 17
>
>Then Ali said, "Now I will take my Camel back"
