Show numerical properties of 72

We start by listing out divisors for 72

DivisorDivisor Math
172 ÷ 1 = 72
272 ÷ 2 = 36
372 ÷ 3 = 24
472 ÷ 4 = 18
672 ÷ 6 = 12
872 ÷ 8 = 9
972 ÷ 9 = 8
1272 ÷ 12 = 6
1872 ÷ 18 = 4
2472 ÷ 24 = 3
3672 ÷ 36 = 2
Positive or Negative Number Test:
Positive Numbers > 0

Since 72 ≥ 0 and it is an integer
72 is a positive number

Whole Number Test:
Positive numbers including 0
with no decimal or fractions

Since 72 ≥ 0 and it is an integer
72 is a whole number

Prime or Composite Test:

Since 72 has divisors other than 1 and itself
it is a composite number

Perfect/Deficient/Abundant Test:

Calculate divisor sum D

If D = N, then it's perfect

If D > N, then it's abundant

If D < N, then it's deficient

Divisor Sum = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 9 + 12 + 18 + 24 + 36

Divisor Sum = 123

Since our divisor sum of 123 > 72
72 is an abundant number!

Odd or Even Test (Parity Function):

A number is even if it is divisible by 2
If not divisible by 2, it is odd

36  =  72
  2

Since 36 is an integer, 72 is divisible by 2
it is an even number

This can be written as A(72) = Even

Evil or Odious Test:

Get binary expansion

If binary has even amount 1's, then it's evil

If binary has odd amount 1's, then it's odious

72 to binary = 1001000

There are 2 1's, 72 is an evil number

Triangular Test:

Can you stack numbers in a pyramid?
Each row above has one item less than the row before it

Using a bottom row of 12 items, we cannot form a pyramid
72 is not triangular

Rectangular Test:

Is there an integer m such that n = m(m + 1)

The integer m = 8 satisifes our rectangular number property.
8(8 + 1) = 72

Automorphic (Curious) Test:

Does n2 ends with n

722 = 72 x 72 = 5184

Since 5184 does not end with 72
it is not automorphic (curious)

Undulating Test:

Do the digits of n alternate in the form abab

Since 72 < 100
We only perform the test on numbers > 99

Square Test:

Is there a number m such that m2 = n?

82 = 64 and 92 = 81 which do not equal 72

Therefore, 72 is not a square

Cube Test:

Is there a number m such that m3 = n

43 = 64 and 53 = 125 ≠ 72

Therefore, 72 is not a cube

Palindrome Test:

Is the number read backwards equal to the number?

The number read backwards is 27

Since 72 <> 27
it is not a palindrome

Palindromic Prime Test:

Is it both prime and a palindrome

From above, since 72 is not both prime and a palindrome
it is NOT a palindromic prime

Repunit Test:

A number is repunit if every digit is equal to 1

Since there is at least one digit in 72 ≠ 1
then it is NOT repunit

Apocalyptic Power Test:

Does 2n contain the consecutive digits 666?

272 = 4.7223664828696E+21

Since 272 does not have 666
72 is NOT an apocalyptic power

Pentagonal Test:

It satisfies the form:

n(3n - 1)
2

Check values of 7 and 8
Using n = 8, we have:
8(3(8 - 1)
2

8(24 - 1)
2


92 ← Since this does not equal 72
this is NOT a pentagonal number

Using n = 7, we have:
7(3(7 - 1)
2

7(21 - 1)
2


70 ← Since this does not equal 72
this is NOT a pentagonal number

Hexagonal Test:

Is there an integer m such that n = m(2m - 1)

No integer m exists such that m(2m - 1) = 72
Therefore 72 is not hexagonal

Heptagonal Test:

Is there an integer m such that:

m  =  n(5n - 3)
  2

No integer m exists such that m(5m - 3)/2 = 72
Therefore 72 is not heptagonal

Nonagonal Test:

Is there an integer m such that:

m  =  n(7n - 5)
  2

No integer m exists such that m(7m - 5)/2 = 72
Therefore 72 is not nonagonal

Nonagonal number:

Tetrahedral (Pyramidal) Test:

Tetrahederal numbers satisfy the form:

n(n + 1)(n + 2)
6

Check values of 6 and 7
Using n = 7, we have:
7(7 + 1)(7 + 2)
6


84 ← Since this does not equal 72
This is NOT a tetrahedral (Pyramidal) number

Using n = 6, we have:
6(6 + 1)(6 + 2)
6


56 ← Since this does not equal 72
This is NOT a tetrahedral (Pyramidal) number

Narcissistic (Plus Perfect) Test:

Is equal to the square sum of it's m-th powers of its digits

72 is a 2 digit number, so m = 2

Square sum of digitsm = 72 + 22

Square sum of digitsm = 49 + 4

Square sum of digitsm = 53

Since 53 <> 72
72 is NOT narcissistic (plus perfect)

Catalan Test:
Cn  =  2n!
  (n + 1)!n!

Check values of 5 and 6
Using n = 6, we have:
C6  =  (2 x 6)!
  6!(6 + 1)!

Using our factorial lesson

C6  =  12!
  6!7!

C6  =  479001600
  (720)(5040)

C6  =  479001600
  3628800

C6 = 132

Since this does not equal 72
This is NOT a Catalan number

Using n = 5, we have:
C5  =  (2 x 5)!
  5!(5 + 1)!

Using our factorial lesson

C5  =  10!
  5!6!

C5  =  3628800
  (120)(720)

C5  =  3628800
  86400

C5 = 42

Since this does not equal 72
This is NOT a Catalan number
