48

Number
$48$ (forty-eight) is:


 * $2^4 \times 3$


 * The $1$st composite number the product of whose proper divisors form its $4$th power:
 * $1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 6 \times 8 \times 12 \times 16 \times 24 = 48^4$


 * With $75$, an element of the $1$st quasiamicable pair:
 * $\map {\sigma_1} {48} = \map {\sigma_1} {75} = 124 = 48 + 75 + 1$


 * The $2$nd of the largest known pair of Ulam numbers which differ by $1$:
 * $47 = 11 + 36, \ 48 = 1 + 47$


 * The smallest positive integer which can be expressed as the sum of $2$ odd primes in $5$ ways:
 * $48 = 43 + 5 = 41 + 7 = 37 + 11 = 31 + 17 = 29 + 19$


 * The $8$th highly composite number after $1$, $2$, $4$, $6$, $12$, $24$, $36$:
 * $\map {\sigma_0} {48} = 10$


 * The $8$th superabundant number after $1$, $2$, $4$, $6$, $12$, $24$, $36$:
 * $\dfrac {\map {\sigma_1} {48} } {48} = \dfrac {124} {48} = 2 \cdotp 58 \dot 3$


 * The $9$th positive integer $n$ after $5$, $11$, $17$, $23$, $29$, $30$, $36$, $42$ such that no factorial of an integer can end with $n$ zeroes.


 * The $11$th semiperfect number after $6$, $12$, $18$, $20$, $24$, $28$, $30$, $36$, $40$, $42$:
 * $48 = 8 + 16 + 24$


 * The $16$th Ulam number after $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$, $6$, $8$, $11$, $13$, $16$, $18$, $26$, $28$, $36$, $38$, $47$:
 * $48 = 1 + 47$


 * The $16$th highly abundant number after $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$, $6$, $8$, $10$, $12$, $16$, $18$, $20$, $24$, $30$, $36$, $42$:
 * $\map {\sigma_1} {48} = 124$


 * The $18$th of $35$ integers less than $91$ to which $91$ itself is a Fermat pseudoprime:
 * $3$, $4$, $9$, $10$, $12$, $16$, $17$, $22$, $23$, $25$, $27$, $29$, $30$, $36$, $38$, $40$, $43$, $48$, $\ldots$


 * The $18$th of $21$ integers which can be represented as the sum of two primes in the maximum number of ways
 * $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$, $5$, $6$, $7$, $8$, $10$, $12$, $14$, $16$, $18$, $24$, $30$, $36$, $42$, $48$, $\ldots$


 * The $22$nd after $1$, $2$, $4$, $5$, $6$, $8$, $9$, $12$, $13$, $15$, $16$, $17$, $20$, $24$, $25$, $27$, $28$, $32$, $35$, $26$, $39$ of the $24$ positive integers which cannot be expressed as the sum of distinct non-pythagorean primes


 * The $22$nd positive integer which is not the sum of $1$ or more distinct squares:
 * $2$, $3$, $6$, $7$, $8$, $11$, $12$, $15$, $18$, $19$, $22$, $23$, $24$, $27$, $28$, $31$, $32$, $33$, $43$, $44$, $47$, $48$, $\ldots$
