Mathematics edit

Sixty-four is the square of 8, the cube of 4, and the sixth power of 2. It is the seventeenth interprime, since it lies midway between the eighteenth and nineteenth prime numbers (61, 67).[1]

The aliquot sum of a power of two (2n) is always one less than the power of two itself, therefore the aliquot sum of 64 is 63, within an aliquot sequence of two composite members (64, 63, 41, 1, 0) that are rooted in the aliquot tree of the thirteenth prime, 41.[2]

64 is:

  • the smallest number with exactly seven divisors,
  • the first whole number (greater than one) that is both a perfect square, and a perfect cube, and
  • the lowest positive power of two that is not adjacent to either a Mersenne prime or a Fermat prime.

64 is the fourth superperfect number — a number such that σ(σ(n)) = 2n.[3]

64 is the sum of Euler's totient function for the first fourteen integers.[4]

The number of graphs on four labeled nodes is 64.[5]

It is also the fourth dodecagonal number,[6] and seventh centered triangular number.[7]

Since it is possible to find sequences of 65 consecutive integers (intervals of length 64) such that each inner member shares a factor with either the first or the last member, 64 is the seventh Erdős–Woods number.[8]

In decimal, no integer added to the sum of its own digits yields 64; hence, 64 is the tenth self number.[9]

64 is the index of Graham's number in the rapidly growing sequence 3↑↑↑↑3, 3 ↑3↑↑↑↑3 3, …

There are 64 total vertices in a 6-cube.

In the fourth dimension, there are 64 uniform polychora aside from two infinite families of duoprisms and antiprismatic prisms, and 64 Bravais lattices.[10]
