28

Number
$28$ (twenty-eight) is:


 * $2^2 \times 7$


 * The $7$th triangular number after $1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21$:
 * $28 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = \dfrac {7 \times \left({7 + 1}\right)} 2$
 * Hence there are $28$ dominoes in a standard set.


 * The second perfect number after $6$:
 * $28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = \sigma \left({28}\right) - 28 = 4 \times 7 = 2^{3 - 1} \left({2^3 - 1}\right)$


 * The only perfect number which is the sum of equal powers of exactly $2$ positive integers:
 * $28 = 1^3 + 3^3$
