Four bits or half a byte, also sometimes spelled "nybble." Since a nibble encodes values from 0 to 2^4-1=15, it can conveniently be represented using a single hexadecimal ...

The nth cubic number n^3 is a sum of n consecutive odd numbers, for example 1^3 = 1 (1) 2^3 = 3+5 (2) 3^3 = 7+9+11 (3) 4^3 = 13+15+17+19, (4) etc. This identity follows from ...
