I'll add a formula that I came across recently:

Area of the triangle when coordinates of the vertices are (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3)
= {|x1 (y2 - y3) + x2 (y3 - y1) + x3 (y1 - y2)|}/ 2

(taken from Rahul's post)

I hope each of us can share important formulas and/or processes that would enable solving the more difficult quant questions.

It could serve as a great resource for the community.

PLEASE ADD.

Thanks,

Generally, the smallest prime factor of h(n)+1 is larger than n/2.
