The Number “11”

(Transgression of Law, Disobedience, Chaos)

The number 11 is the first Master Number

Meaning and symbology

The number eleven is important in that it can symbolize disorder, chaos, and judgment. Coming after 10 (which represents law and responsibility), the number eleven (11) represents the opposite, which is the irresponsibility of breaking the law, which brings disorder and judgment.
Symbol of the interior fight, the rebellion and the mislaying which results from it. But it also represents someone who comes out victorious of the tests with the acquired knowledge.

In China, the number 11 represents the way (the Tao) of the sky and the earth. It is the number of the central union of the sky, 6, and of the earth, 5.
Represent the transgression of the law because it exceeds one of the number ten, which is one of the Decalogue. For this fact, it represents the sin according to saint Augustin. The psalm 11 (Vulgate numbering) asks effectively the punishment of the wicked. The theoretical speculations on this number confirm this symbolism. The sum of numbers 1 to 11 is 66, which multiplying eleven by the number symbol of the evil, the diabolic 6; by the addition of the two digits which compose it as by its reading in Roman number, II, it reminds the 2, number of the division and the corruption.
The number expressing more than the human sin, it is the sin in general or cosmic, according to R. Allendy.
According to Peignot, it is the force of witnesses and the Word. Eleven is, therefore, the number of martyrdom, the testimony, and the prophecy.

Moreover, according to the theory of Phaeton which is based on the law of Bode gives the definition of the relative distances between the Sun and planets (as well as of their respective masses) it must have had, between Mars and Jupiter, a planet at a distance from the Sun equal to 2.8 times of the Earth, with a mass equal to 90 times the mass it this one. But of course, the scientists never found anything at this distance of the Sun, except some asteroids and comets which, according to some scientists, could come from the remains of the explosion of a planet.

In Mathematics

11 is a prime number. It is the smallest two-digit prime number in the decimal base.
The next prime is 13, with which it comprises a twin prime.
If a number is divisible by 11, reversing its digits will result in another multiple of 11. As long as no two adjacent digits of a number added together exceed 9, then multiplying the number by 11, reversing the digits of the product, and dividing that new number by 11, will yield a number that is the reverse of the original number. (For example: 142,312 × 11 = 1,565,432 → 2,345,651 ÷ 11 = 213,241.)
Multiples of 11 by one-digit numbers all have matching double digits: 00 (=0), 11, 22, 33, 44, etc.
An 11-sided polygon is called a hendecagon or undecagon.
There are 11 regular and semiregular convex uniform tilings in the second dimension, and 11 planigons that correspond to these 11 regular and semiregular tilings.
In base 10, there is a simple test to determine if an integer is divisible by 11: take every digit of the number located in odd position and add them up, then take the remaining digits and add them up. If the difference between the two sums is a multiple of 11, including 0, then the number is divisible by 11. For instance, if the number is 65,637 then (6 + 6 + 7) – (5 + 3) = 19 – 8 = 11, so 65,637 is divisible by 11. This technique also works with groups of digits rather than individual digits, so long as the number of digits in each group is odd, although not all groups have to have the same number of digits. For instance, if one uses three digits in each group, one gets from 65,637 the calculation (065) – 637 = -572, which is divisible by 11.
Another test for divisibility is to separate a number into groups of two consecutive digits (adding a leading zero if there is an odd number of digits), and then add up the numbers so formed; if the result is divisible by 11, the number is divisible by 11. For instance, if the number is 65,637, 06 + 56 + 37 = 99, which is divisible by 11, so 65,637 is divisible by eleven. This also works by adding a trailing zero instead of a leading one: 65 + 63 + 70 = 198, which is divisible by 11. This also works with larger groups of digits, providing that each group has an even number of digits (not all groups have to have the same number of digits).
An easy way of multiplying numbers by 11 in base 10 is: If the number has:
1 digit – Replicate the digit (so 2 × 11 becomes 22).
2 digits – Add the 2 digits together and place the result in the middle (so 47 × 11 becomes 4 (11) 7 or 4 (10+1) 7 or (4+1) 1 7 or 517).
3 digits – Keep the first digit in its place for the result’s first digit, add the first and second digits together to form the result’s second digit, add the second and third digits together to form the result’s third digit, and keep the third digit as the result’s fourth digit. For any resulting numbers greater than 9, carry the 1 to the left. Example 1: 123 × 11 becomes 1 (1+2) (2+3) 3 or 1353. Example 2: 481 × 11 becomes 4 (4+8) (8+1) 1 or 4 (10+2) 9 1 or (4+1) 2 9 1 or 5291.
4 or more digits – Follow the same pattern as for 3 digits.
In base 13 and higher bases (such as hexadecimal), 11 is represented as B, where ten is A. In duodecimal, however, 11 is sometimes represented as E and ten as T or X.

11 is the fourth Sophie Germain prime, the third safe prime, the fourth Lucas prime, the first repunit prime, the second good prime, and the second unique prime. Although it is necessary for n to be prime for 2ⁿ − 1 to be a Mersenne prime, the converse is not true: 2¹¹ − 1 = 2047 which is 23 × 89.
11 raised to the nth power is the nth row of Pascal’s Triangle. (This works for any base, but the number eleven must be changed to the number represented as 11 in that base; for example, in duodecimal, this must be done using thirteen.)

11 is a Heegner number, meaning that the ring of integers of the field {\displaystyle \mathbb {Q} ({\sqrt {-11}})} has the property of unique factorization.
One consequence of this is that there exists at most one point on the elliptic curve x³ = y² + 11 that has positive-integer coordinates. In this case, this unique point is (15, 58).
