Thank you so much for sharing the link. I really enjoy reading Clifford Pickover's books. As a young teen, I was inspired by Wonders of Numbers and Surfing Through Hyperspace. I am fond of the following explanations for the choice in naming [1]. However, your explanation came directly from the horses mouth ;-) 1. The name “vampire” evokes the image of a creature that bites and multiplies. Similarly, vampire numbers “bite” a larger number into two smaller numbers (fangs) that, when multiplied together, recreate the original number. 2. Clifford A. Pickover, who introduced the term in his book “Keys to Infinity,” often uses imaginative and evocative language to engage readers in mathematical concepts. The term “vampire numbers” reflects his creative approach to making mathematics more accessible and intriguing to a wide audience.
