    Not in most programming languages, though. You cannot start names with a number. Unless you're using some strange character that merely looks like a number, anyways. Programming with unicode can get weird but generally works without issue these days.

    No, it can only be a Factorised Term, ab+ac=a(b+c). You also can't call a function by any letter that you've used as a pronumeral
