The earliest known mention of this idea occurs in Douglas Hofstadter's 1985 book "Metamagical Themas", where Hofstadter states This sequence of six nines is sometimes called the "Feynman point",

Casting out nines The expression "casting out nines" may refer to any one of three arithmetical procedures: To "cast out nines" from a single number, its decimal digits can be simply added together to obtain its so-called digit sum. The digit sum of 2946, for example is 2 + 9 + 4 + 6 = 21. Since 21 = 2946 − 325 × 9, the effect of taking the digit sum of 2946 is to "cast out" 325 lots of 9 from it. If the digit 9 is ignored when summing the digits, the effect is to "cast out" one

The method bears striking resemblance to standard signal processing and computational error detection and error correction methods, typically using similar modular arithmetic in checksums and simpler check digits. This method can be generalized to determine the remainders of division by certain prime numbers. Since 3·3 = 9, So we can use the remainder from casting out nines to get the remainder of division by three. Casting out ninety nines is done by adding groups of two digits instead just one digit.

In particular, the term is used in connection with mainframes or enterprise computing, often as part of a service-level agreement. Similarly, percentages ending in a 5 have conventional names, traditionally the number of nines, then "five", so 99.95% is "three nines five", abbreviated 3N5.

However, for the contextually appropriate interpretation, the non-NINES did not reactivate the fronted direct object in Probe Position 3. Researchers attributed this difference to the prior exposure of many in the non-NINES groups to languages that relied less explicitly on word order for comprehension. In this experiment, Zurif, Swinney and Garret built upon existing research on language processing errors in Broca’s and Wernicke’s aphasia patients.

This method was commonly used in mechanical calculators and is still used in modern computers. The "nines' complement" of a number is formed by replacing each digit with nine minus that digit. To subtract a decimal number "y" (the subtrahend) from another number "x" (the minuend) two methods may be used: In the first method the nines' complement of "x" is added to "y". Then the nines' complement of the result obtained is
