Favourite number

[topum]

I need to pick a favourite number and I cannot decide. Do you have one? If yes, what is it and why? Thank you.

13. It's the death card in Tarot, my favorite card in most decks.

Athena

Thanks. I do not know anything about Tarot though. Will have a look.

I fancy 12, because it's divisible by so many other numbers. I'm also sort of fond of 210 for the same reason.

[topum.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

also 667 because it's the neighbor of the beast.

[topum.livejournal.com]

So after the beast not before )?

[randomdreams.livejournal.com]

I suspect 667 is the great neighbor, and 665 is the lesser neighbor?

Seven, of course.

[topum.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Why?

[steepholm.livejournal.com]

Now, there you have me. It's always been my favourite. Being a prime is part of its charm, no doubt, though that's an honour shared with infinitely many others of course.

[topum.livejournal.com]

I like it as well. It is a nice shade of green too. I am a synesthete.

Smaller primes seem so jejune once you've met 7.

How do you feel about 6174?

[steepholm.livejournal.com]

I find it showy.

[topum.livejournal.com]

I like Kaprekar's constant.

Wow! Thanks! that's a new one for me and it's brill! I just tried it out and it did it on the 7th!

I'm not sure. Can you pick things like imaginary numbers or zero factorial? In high school, it might've been 14 or 777, maybe both at different times. Now, I don't think I've got one. If I want to exaggerate and have people know I'm exaggerating, I bring out "billion". And... I'm not sure why, regarding favorites, except perhaps I was influenced by Tolkien in the 14.

Thanks. No, imaginary numbers cannot be picked, it is restricted to natural numbers.

Down the dusty decades...when i was a wee..boy..i picked four i think in the same thought that i picked green as my favourite colour...something to do with school uniform was the colour but number escapes me....

28

I've been asking myself why 28? and the first thing that came to mind was that I also like 7 and 28 is the 7th triangular number.
