::Hi Michael, The wp article does mention [[wp:Octonian|Octonians]], and I also read [[wp:Division algebra]] enough to know that from reals to complex to quaternions to octonians; things seem to get a little less useful. The octonians seeming to have 480 ways to multiply for example. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 16:28, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

::: I was thinking more along the lines of the kind of code generalization that would allow the same code to operate correctly on any >=0 integer value for M and N. Granted, we're delving outside a simple task. My curiosity there lies being able to learn the relationship by studying the code. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 18:05, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
