Let the required number be 'X' Condition 1 :   XX = 2X  => 2X2 = X => X = 12   Condition 2 : X × X = X2=> X = 12   Therefore, 12 is the number which becomes double when it is divided by itself and becomes half when it is multiplied by itself.

There are approximately 6 trillion miles in a light-year, so the distance we need to go is 6 trillion miles / light-year times. 4 light-years is equal to 24 trillion miles. So, this whole would take 1.2 billion hours. There are 24 hours a day and 365.25 days per year, so this time in years is 137 thousand years.
