27

Number
$27$ (twenty-seven) is:


 * $3^3$


 * The $3$rd cube number after $1$, $8$:
 * $27 = 3 \times 3 \times 3$


 * The $3$rd power of $3$ after $(1)$, $3$, $9$:
 * $27 = 3^3$


 * The smallest odd cube number after $1$:
 * $27 = 3 \times 3 \times 3$


 * The only cube number which is $2$ greater than a square:
 * $27 = 5^2 + 2$


 * The $7$th powerful number after $1$, $4$, $8$, $9$, $16$, $25$


 * The $2$nd of the only known pair of consecutive odd powerful numbers, the other being $25$:
 * $25 = 5^2$, $27 = 3^3$


 * The $7$th and largest integer after $0$, $1$, $8$, $17$, $18$, $26$ equal to the sum of the digits of its cube:
 * $27^3 = 19 \, 683$, while $1 + 9 + 6 + 8 + 3 = 27$


 * The $5$th integer $m$ such that $m! + 1$ (its factorial plus $1$) is prime:
 * $1$, $2$, $3$, $11$, $27$


 * The smallest integer which has a reciprocal whose period is $3$:
 * $\dfrac 1 {27} = 0 \cdotp \dot 03 \dot 7$


 * The smallest positive integer which is $3$ times the sum of its digits:
 * $27 = 3 \times \left({2 + 7}\right)$


 * The smallest positive integer which is the sum of $3$ squares in $2$ ways:
 * $27 = 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 = 5^2 + 1^2 + 1^2$


 * The $16$th after $1$, $2$, $4$, $5$, $6$, $8$, $9$, $12$, $13$, $15$, $16$, $17$, $20$, $24$, $25$ of the $24$ positive integers which cannot be expressed as the sum of distinct non-pythagorean primes


 * The $19$th integer $n$ after $0$, $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$, $5$, $6$, $7$, $8$, $9$, $13$, $14$, $15$, $16$, $18$, $19$, $24$, $25$ such that $2^n$ contains no zero in its decimal representation:
 * $2^{27} = 134 \, 217 \, 728$


 * The $14$th positive integer which is not the sum of $1$ or more distinct squares:
 * $2$, $3$, $6$, $7$, $8$, $11$, $12$, $15$, $18$, $19$, $22$, $23$, $24$, $27$, $\ldots$


 * The $2$nd element of the $1$st pair of integers $m$ whose values of $m \tau \left({m}\right)$ is equal:
 * $18 \times \tau \left({18}\right) = 108 = 27 \times \tau \left({27}\right)$


 * The $3$rd Smith number after $4$, $22$:
 * $2 + 7 = 3 + 3 + 3 = 9$


 * The $5$th integer $m$ after $1$, $2$, $3$, $11$ such that $m! + 1$ is prime


 * The $16$th harshad number after $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$, $5$, $6$, $7$, $8$, $9$, $10$, $12$, $18$, $20$, $21$, $24$:
 * $27 = 3 \times 9 = 3 \times \left({2 + 7}\right)$


 * One of the cycle of $5$ numbers to which Kaprekar's process on $2$-digit numbers converges:
 * $27 \to 45 \to 09 \to 81 \to 63 \to 27$
