 * $12 = \left({1 + 2}\right) \times 4 = \left({1 \times 2}\right) \times 6$


 * The number of edges of the regular octahedron and its dual, the cube


 * The smallest abundant number:
 * $1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 16 > 12$


 * The $5$th superabundant number after $1, 2, 4, 6$, and the smallest which is also abundant:
 * $\dfrac {\sigma \left({12}\right)} {12} = \dfrac {28} {12} = 2 \cdotp \dot 3$


 * The $2$nd semiperfect number after $6$:
 * $12 = 2 + 4 + 6$


 * The $3$rd pentagonal number after $1, 5$:
 * $12 = 1 + 4 + 7 = \dfrac {3 \left({3 \times 3 - 1}\right)} 2$
