It's a useful approximation for typical interest rates over typical lifespans. An investment growing at 5% compound interest pa will double in approx. 72/5 = 14.4 years.  Note: 1.05^14.4 = 2.02

But it's a fast way to estimate the time to double
the original amount when the interest or dividends
are reinvested.

IIRC, divide 72 by the percentage.  That will give the
number of year to double the original amount.

The exact doubling time is log(2)/log(1+r/100).
If we expand log in a Taylor series and take only the first term
we get the approximate doubling time as 100*log(2)/r.
That is 69.315/r.

So why don't we use a rule of 69 or a rule of 70?

It turns out that, in the range 1% to 10% and rounded to whole years, 72 
is more accurate than 69.315.

I found this quite surprising.

I got this confused with the Rule of 78 used with Loans,

http://www.tiac.net/~mabaker/rule_of_78.html

it replaced simple interest calculation in the 60's and 70's and
it made you pay more for a loan

I don't remember loans ever being simple interest.

I think it is dependent upon which state you are in, here the "rule of 
78" was discontinued from home loans.  But I think that in other states 
it is still legal.

OK.  My experiences are based on Michigan and Massachusetts.

However, banks make more money if they don't use simple interest model.

There are a lot of accounting tricks having to with 9s.  I suppose people
aren't being taught these rules since most accounting is done by computer
rather than "by hand".  ISTM there was a book published which described
these "9" tricks.  I always meant to figure out proofs for them but
life got in the way :-).  When you first encounter these tricks of the
trade, you think it's magic.

You mean like the value someone came up with the speed of light accounting trick: 

299,792,458 meters per second


299 



it ends like a 99.9  percent ( how these guys think when they are unsure)


299...just short of 300


keeping it under the true value of over 300,000,000.



Then I notice other "9" patterns...


299,792,458


792

7+2=9

458

4+5=9


299,792,458 meters per second is an accounting trick, isn't it????

Okay...going a step further on the "9" accounting trick..

How many nines are there in  299,792,458?

There are three numbered "9"'s
There are 4+5=9 and 7+2=9 2+7=9
So that totals 3 more "9"s
Then you have nine digits - 299,792,458


299,792,458 meters per second is an accounting trick, isn't it????


What is the speed of light? 99999999999999999999999998


good thing i'm not good at arithmetic...

I'm not talking about numerology.  I'm talking about real accounting
and bookkeeping practices.  IIRC, one of the "9" tricks helped
a bookkeeper figure out if an imbalance was caused by transposing
two numbers.  there were many more little tricks to figure out
mistakes.

Well, if that is the case then the speed of light should read: 299,792,459


somebody must have made a mistake somewhere...

(i was wondering how that "8" got in there...)

The fact that you didn't read anything I wrote is noted.

i think you said it was numerlogy and not an accounting trick, so...it's all about the number "9" in the
world of numerology. 


In numerolgy the number "9" it always becomes a 9 using some sort of trick.




if that is the case then the speed of light should read: 299,792,459



maybe you just don't know ...numerology.


The fact that you didn't understand anything I wrote is noted.


You might know math but you don't know your numbers.

Well, here is what you wrote:

"I'm not talking about numerology.  I'm talking about real accounting
 and bookkeeping practices."

Do you know what the word "not" means?

hmmm...perhaps this is the cause of all the confusion you have in
your posts.
