I never noticed that before, and as one who also gets numbers in the head for no reason, I sympathize.
Reading what you said, I had a thought you might find interesting.:
I believe the relationships of these numbers may be borne as a side-effect of using our base-10 number system. (i.e. we roll over to another digit when we get to the tenth count.) Of course, using a base-ten system, any division involving numbers greater than ten are based on the number ten.
Ten has only two factors: 2 and 5.
Well, whatever is to be made of this, I think you shall be known as the first lion to chew on numbers!
Ah, interesting.
