144 number - In mathematics
It is the twelfth Fibonacci number, and the largest one to also be a square, as the square of 12 (which is also its index in the Fibonacci sequence), following 121 and preceding 169.
144 is the smallest number with exactly 15 divisors.
144 is a number that is divisible by the value of its φ function, which returns 48 in this case. Also, there are 21 solutions to the equation φ(x) = 144, more than any integer below 144, making it a highly totient number.
1445 = 275 + 845 + 1105 + 1335, the smallest number whose fifth power is a sum of less than five (smaller) fifth powers. This solution was found in 1967 by L.J. Lander and T.R. Parkin, and disproved a conjecture by Euler.
The maximum determinant in an 9 by 9 matrix of zeroes and ones is 144.
144 is a Harshad number.
