I don't know of a particular book that covers it (but if one exists, it will be a book about number theory). @Jagan,

Do you mean for other powers? I don’t know of a particular book that covers it (but if one exists, it will be a book about number theory).

Thanks for the feedback. Dimitrina,

I feel a bit envious because I saw this for the first time in my daughter's reflections on a homework problem when she was 12 years old - in 2003. She did also some other interesting relations. But I have never found time to encourage and help her to publish it...Anyway, I feel proud of her. Now I think it is worth going trough her old notes because she did some other interesting thigs too. Very interesting and thorough.

The powers are written with exponents (example: 2<sup>8</sup>), not evaluated as they would be in a native computer representation (example: 256). What did you have in mind? jx,
