In a surprising twist, Matt Parker breaks the pattern and shows that it's possible to feature all positive rationals approximately equally!

As I've been thinking of it: The point where it gets interesting. Here, we dive into the unexplored popularity of positive rationals on Numberphile. Does the popularity follow that of OEIS, or is Dr. Haran a trend-setter when it comes to popular numbers?

In this series, we’re looking at the popularity of numbers in various online math resources. Previously, I reviewed the data being used in this analysis. In this part, I’ll finally start doing some analysis! I’ll start with a quick overview of the popularity of numbers across the sources, then I’ll dive into the OEIS data by trying to replicate the results in the Sloane’s Gap paper (Numberphile video on the topic).

While all numbers are interesting, prior research reveals not all numbers are popular. This prior research was on the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, but is this true for other online math resources? Is popularity a function of the resource or is it a social construct independent of resource? In this series, I'll try to answer these questions by looking at the popularity of numbers across a few online math resources.
