-----Number Gossip-----------------------------------------------

Number Gossip: Enter a number and I'll tell you everything you wanted to know about it but were afraid to ask.





So I tried 24. Apparently it is Evil!


Common Properties of 24: Evil
The number n is evil if it has an even number of 1's in its binary expansion.





Also:


24 is the only number that is the product of all the numbers less than its square root
24 divides the difference between any two prime squares greater than three
Subtracting one from each of its divisors (except 1 and 2, but including itself) yields a prime number - 24 is the largest number with this property
24 is the smallest abundant factorial





Another random number tried:5648


Common Properties of 5648
Apocalyptic power
The number n is called an apocalyptic power if 2^n contains the consecutive digits 666 (in decimal).
