m 7 is the Holy number.

There are 7 days in

creation, 7 days in the week, 7 phases of the
moon, every 7th year was sabbatical, and 7 times
7 years was the jubilee. There are 7 ages in the
life of man, 7 Graces, 7 Deadly Sins, 7 Senses, 7
Sorrows of the Virgin, 7 Virtues, 7 joys of the
Virgin, 7 Precious Things of the Buddhas, 7
Sleepers of Ephesus. There were also 7 heavens,
7 planets, 7 stars, 7 wise men, 7 notes in music,
and 7 wonders of the world.
m 7 is the smallest number of integer-sided
rectangles that tile a rectangle so that no 2
rectangles share a common length.
m 7 is a Mersenne prime (23 - 1).
m 7 is the positive solution to: 3x2 = 16x + 35
m 7 is probably the smallest prime whose 4th
power is of the form a4+b4-c4:
74 = 1574 + 2274 - 2394

m 16 + 46 + 46 + 56 + 96 + 96 + 26 + 96 = 14459929

m 61 + = = ë x 2ë
62 + = = ë x 5ë (this property is used in the



)

m 72 = 34 - 25

7 is the only solution to the following equations:
x = 2à2 - 1
and x2 = 2 2 - 1
(x = 6, à = 2, and = 5)
No perfect square ends in a 6 (perfect squares can
only end in a 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9).
The only single digit prime number to produce a
square when its cube and the cube's proper divisors
are added

The smallest positive integer whose
reciprocal (1/7) has a pattern of more than
one repeating digit:

1/7 = 0.142857=ë 6142857...

It is also the smallest number for which the

periodic sequence of 1/Y is of length Y-1. The
next such numbers are 17, 19, 23, 29, 47, 59,
61, 97, ...
~ther notable properties:

By multiplying the cyclic number =ë 6 by 2, 3, 4, 5, or

6, the answer will be a cyclic permutation of itself...

=ë 6 x 1 = =ë 6
=ë 6 x 2 = ë 6=
=ë 6 x 3 = ë 6=
=ë 6 x 4 = 6=ë
=ë 6 x 5 = 6=ë
=ë 6 x 6 =  6=ë

Interestingly, if we square the last three digits of =ë 6
and subtract the square of the first three digits, we also
get back a cyclic permutation of the number!
