Only a number
From here comes this today:
- 42 is bracketed by twin primes;
- It is a composite number;
- Its factorization makes it a sphenic number (and thus also a square-free integer);
- It is the product of the first three terms of Sylvester's sequence;
- Like the first four such numbers it is also a primary pseudoperfect number;
- It is the sum of the totient function for the first eleven integers;
- It is the third 15-gonal number;
- It is a Catalan number;
- It is the reciprocal of a Bernoulli number;
- It is a meandric number and an open meandric number;
But of course we all really know that I have now reached found the answer.
