i=1ori=11i=i2ii=i3ori=(1)3ii=(i2)3ii=i6ii=i7$continuingwiththispatternIthink$i=i4n+3$WherenZ$and$n0

 

Now it has got me thinking more.

what if n was a negative integer?  Would that work?

 

i4n+3=i4ni3=1i4ni3=1(i4)ni3=1(1)ni3=11i3=i3=i2i=isoi=i4n+3$where$nZ$ncanbeanyinteger,itdoesnothavetobepositive$
