Question

Why 2+2=4 and not 2+2=22 ?

Answer 1

2 + 2 = 4 because 4 is a sum of 1-digit numbers

2 + 2 ≠ 22 because 22 is the sum of 1-digit and 2-digit numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets explain some important notes:

• The 1-digit number consists of one digit, 4 is a one-digit number
• The 2-digit number consists of two digits, ones digit and tens digit, 23 is a 2-digit number, the ones digit is 3 and the tens digit is 2, so its value is 20 + 3
• The 3-digit number consists of ones digit, tens digit and the hundreds digit, 123 is a 3-digit number, the ones digit is 3, the tens digit is 2 and the hundreds digit is 1, so its value is 100 + 20 + 3

∵ 2 + 2 is the addition problem of two 1-digit numbers

∴ There sum will be 4 which is also 1-digit number

∴ 2 + 2 must be 4

∵ 22 is a two digit number

∴ Its value is 20 + 2 ⇒ not 2 + 2

∴ 2 + 2 can not be 22

2 + 2 = 4 because 4 is a sum of 1-digit numbers

2 + 2 ≠ 22 because 22 is the sum of 1-digit and 2-digit numbers
