Also can be checked in Wolfram|Alpha: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=7%5E7+mod+7%21

BTW - Cool idea! Here is something very simple:

$$2^{11}-5^2 = 2023$$

In[]:= 2^11-5^2
Out[]= 2023

And thanks to John Conway's discovery of 1988 that $e^{\pi }-\pi \approx 20$ we have

$$\text{Round}\left[101 e^{\pi }-100 \pi \right]= 2023$$

In[]:= Round[101*E^Pi-100*Pi]
Out[]= 2023

I am trying to find some exact ones based on Golden Ratio, Pi, E, other irrational and transcendental numbers. Similar to Fibonacci sequence formula, but much neater than this (I hope someone will figure this out):

$$\frac{\phi ^{18}-(1-\phi) ^{18}}{\sqrt{5}}-3 \cdot 11 \cdot 17=2023$$

In[]:= FullSimplify[(GoldenRatio^18-(1-GoldenRatio)^18)/Sqrt[5]-3 11 17]
Out[]= 2023

There are some good answers in comments on Reddit Math: https://wolfr.am/1a2XCVsb0

With this: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=prime+factorization+of+2023 I thought it would be interesting to see what could be one in base 7 to get to 2023.

Or in WL: 7 7^^23^2

Looks like we got another interesting postcard post by Fermat's Library on LinkedIn:

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7014999420580597760

enter image description here

which is in Wolfram:

In[]:= (10+(9+8*7)*6)*5+4*3*2-1
Out[]= 2023

I wonder is it easy to find such combination? How many numbers we can get out of specific range using a specific set of operations? And how many combinations we have for a single number on average?

I prefer to look forward to what 2023 might bring to us! 2023 is a very interesting 3-color totalistic cellular automaton:

$3^2+7^2+11^2+15^2+19^2+23^2+27^2 = 2023$

Not a formal per se but 2023 is a multiple of 7 whose digits also add to 7. In other words 2023 is the numbers congruent to 7 mod 63.

[ (2023)^2 - 2023 ] / [6* (2023)] = 337

New year : 337 (6) + 1 = 2023 or [337 (7)* (2023)] / 2023] - 338 = 2023

Last year : 337 (6) = 2022 or 337(7) - 337 = 2022

Moving along : 337 + 1 = 338

Finding the next primes using the formula above :

[ [2023 * ( 338)* (7) - 2023] / 2023] - 338 = 2027 is prime

[ [2023 ( 338) (7) + 2023] / 2023] - 338 = 2029 is prime

[(2029+338) 2023 - 2023 / (2366)] = 2023

[(2027+338) 2023 -+2023 / (2366)] = 2023

2023 within a solution using the next twin primes

= (11/x+1 )^-1 which = 184

184 * 11 - 1 = 2023

(2 + 0 + 2 + 3) × (22 + 02 + 22 + 32)2 = 2023

pretty simple one. 2023 is the year when I started learning math at a more advanced level. Now I have math classes three times a week, and I can say that I like it, but it also makes me stressed simultaneously. From time to time, I even take extra lessons with a tutor because I can't understand something. And pretty often, I use the help of https://edubirdie.com/do-my-math-homework because the tasks can be so hard, and I spend a lot of time on it with no results. But I really love math, and I need good math skills for my future, so I will do my best to improve my skills and knowledge.
