At first we note that is danish for any positive integer , because a hexagon can be cut in 3 equal parallelograms each of which can afterwards be cut in equal parallelograms (Fig 1).
Furthermore a hexagon can be cut into two equal trapezoids (Fig. 2) each of which can afterwards be cut into 4 equal trapezoids of the same shape (Fig. 3) and so on. Therefore any number of the form is also danish.

Figure 3
If we take any danish number of the second type, then
showing that is also a danish number.
