56

Number
$56$ (fifty-six) is:


 * $2^3 \times 7$


 * The $1$st element of the $3$rd pair of integers $m$ whose values of $m \map \tau m$ is equal:
 * $56 \times \map \tau {56} = 448 = 64 \times \map \tau {64}$


 * The $6$th integer $n$ after $1, 3, 15, 30, 35$ with the property that $\map \tau n \divides \map \phi n \divides \map \sigma n$:
 * $\map \tau {56} = 8$, $\map \phi {56} = 24$, $\map \sigma {56} = 120$


 * The $6$th tetrahedral number, after $1$, $4$, $10$, $20$, $35$:
 * $56 = 1 + 3 + 6 + 10 + 15 + 21 = \dfrac {6 \paren {6 + 1} \paren {6 + 2} } 6$


 * The $13$th semiperfect number after $6$, $12$, $18$, $20$, $24$, $28$, $30$, $36$, $40$, $42$, $48$, $54$:
 * $56 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 + 28$
