Number
$24$ (twenty-four) is:
- $2^3 \times 3$
- The $1$st positive integer which can be partitioned into distinct Fibonacci numbers in $5$ different ways:
- $24 = 21 + 3 = 21 + 2 + 1 = 13 + 8 + 3 = 13 + 8 + 2 + 1 = 13 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 1$
- The $1$st composite number the product of whose proper divisors form its cube:
- $1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 6 \times 8 \times 12 = 24^3$
- The $1$st of the $3$ integers which can be expressed as the product of both $3$ and $4$ consecutive integers:
- $24 = 2 \times 3 \times 4 = 1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4$
- The area and perimeter of the $1$st of the only $2$ Pythagorean triples which define a Pythagorean triangle whose area equals its perimeter:
- $\tuple {6, 8, 10}$
- The $1$st element of the $2$nd pair of integers $m$ whose values of $m \, \map {\sigma_0} m$ is equal:
- $24 \times \map {\sigma_0} {24} = 192 = 32 \times \map {\sigma_0} {32}$
- The $2$nd of three $2$-digit integers divisible by both the sum and product of its digits:
- $24 = \paren {2 + 4} \times 4 = \paren {2 \times 4} \times 3$
- The $2$nd positive integer after $1$ whose Euler $\phi$ value is equal to the product of its digits:
- $\map \phi {24} = 8 = 2 \times 4$
- $4$ factorial:
- $24 = 4! = 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1$
- The $4$th and last integer after $1$, $22$, $23$ which equals the number of digits in its factorial:
- $24! = 620 \, 448 \, 401 \, 733 \, 239 \, 439 \, 360 \, 000$
- which has $24$ digits
