I've been aware for a while about the the controversy surrounding the standard A note and whether it should be set to (as it now is) or changed to I'm trying in this post to look at the mathematical properties of .
- is close to the speed of light as measured in miles per second. Wolfram Alpha gives a figure of miles per second for the speed of light in a vacuum which is of .
- It also turns out that the area of an equilateral triangle whose numerical area is equal to its perimeter is given by .
- sits between the twin primes and
- The factors of are . The sum of these divisors is .
- is a 3-smooth number, one that is of the form or to put it less mathematically it is a number that can be written as a power of two times a power of three, specifically . Such numbers have been called harmonic numbers. Here are the harmonic numbers up to :
- is the sum of four consecutive primes:
- is the sum of two positive cubes:
- OEIS lists entries for the number
