65 (number)

65 (sixty-five) is the natural number following 64 and preceding 66.

In mathematics

Sixty-five is the 23rd^[1] semiprime and the 3rd of the form (5.q). It is an octagonal number.^[2] It is also a Cullen number.^[3] Given 65, the Mertens function returns 0.^[4]

Sixty-five has an aliquot sum of 19 and is the first composite number in the 19-aliquot tree.

This number is the magic constant of 5 by 5 normal magic square:

This number is also the magic constant of n-Queens Problem for n = 5.^[5]

65 is the smallest integer that can be expressed as a sum of two distinct positive squares in two ways, 65 = 8² + 1² = 7² + 4².

It appears in the Padovan sequence, preceded by the terms 28, 37, 49 (it is the sum of the first two of these).^[6]

There are only 65 known Euler's idoneal numbers.

In base 14, 65 is a cyclic number.

65 = 1⁵ + 2⁴ + 3³ + 4² + 5¹.

65 is the length of the hypotenuse of 4 different pythagorean triangles, the lowest number to have more than 2: 65² = 16² + 63² = 33² + 56² = 39² + 52² = 25² + 60². The first two are "primitive", and 65 is the lowest number to be the largest side of more than one such triple.
