In the classic Star Trek episode 'The Trouble with Tribbles,' the Enterprise becomes infested with adorable, trilling balls of fluff called tribbles. Tribbles are cute but be warned: they reproduce rapidly, so they will soon eat all of your food.
In one scene from that episode, Spock says that there are 1,771,561 tribbles onboard the Enterprise. How does he come up with that figure? Kyle Hill, a science journalist, derived Spock's mathematical calculations.
