37 not 42 the Answer to The Meaning of Life? A Common Core Investigation

A Middle School Common Core Investigation
Is 37 an "interesting" #?
37x4=148; 4-1="3",8-1="7"
37x13=481
37x22=814
37x5=185; 8-5="3",8-1="7"
37x14=518
37x23=851
How far can you extend the pattern?
And is 37 patriotic (apologies to AK&HI)??
37x48=1776
And my favorite ...
1/37=0.027027...
1/27=0.037037...
Is it all because 37x3=111?
First we engage, then illuminate...
