70 (seventy) is the natural number following 69 and preceding 71.

70 is the value whose factorial is closest to a googol, where .

Mathematics

[edit]

Properties of the integer

[edit]

70 is the fourth discrete sphenic number, as the first of the form .[1] It is the smallest weird number, a natural number that is abundant but not semiperfect,[2] where it is also the second-smallest primitive abundant number, after 20. 70 is in equivalence with the sum between the smallest number that is the sum of two abundant numbers, and the largest that is not (24, 46).

70 is the tenth Erdős–Woods number, since it is possible to find sequences of seventy consecutive integers such that each inner member shares a factor with either the first or the last member.[3][a] It is also the sixth Pell number, preceding the tenth prime number 29, in the sequence .

70 is a palindromic number in bases 9 (779), 13 (5513) and 34 (2234).[b]

Happy number

[edit]

70 is the thirteenth happy number in decimal, where 7 is the first such number greater than 1 in base ten: the sum of squares of its digits eventually reduces to 1.[7] For both 7 and 70, there is

97, which reduces from the sum of squares of digits of 49, is the only prime after 7 in the successive sums of squares of digits (7, 49, 97, 130, 10) before reducing to 1. More specifically, 97 is also the seventh happy prime in base ten.[8]

70 = 2 × 5 × 7 simplifies to 7 × 10, or the product of the first happy prime in decimal, and the base (10).

Aliquot sequence

[edit]

70 contains an aliquot sum of 74, in an aliquot sequence of four composite numbers (70, 74, 40, 50, 43) in the prime 43-aliquot tree.

  • The composite index of 70 is 50,[9] which is the first non-trivial member of the 43-aliquot tree.
  • 40, the Euler totient of 100, is the second non-trivial member of the 43-aliquot tree.
  • The composite index of 100 is 74 (the aliquot part of 70),[9] the third non-trivial member of the 43-aliquot tree.

The sum 43 + 50 + 40 = 133 represents the one-hundredth composite number,[9] where the sum of all members in this aliquot sequence up to 70 is the fifty-ninth prime, 277 (this prime index value represents the seventeenth prime number and seventh super-prime, 59).[10][5][c]

Figurate numbers

[edit]

The sum of the first seven prime numbers aside from 7 (i.e., 2, 3, 5, 11, …, 19) is 70; the first four primes in this sequence sum to 21 = 3 × 7, where the sum of the sixth, seventh and eighth indexed primes (in the sequence of prime numbers) 13 + 17 + 19 is the seventh square number, 49.

Central binomial coefficient

[edit]

70 is the fourth central binomial coefficient, preceding , as the number of ways to choose 4 objects out of 8 if order does not matter; this is in equivalence with the number of possible values of an 8-bit binary number for which half the bits are on, and half are off.[17]

Geometric properties

[edit]

7-simplex

[edit]
Two-dimensional orthographic projection of the 7-simplex, a uniform 7-polytope with seventy tetrahedral cells

In seven dimensions, the number of tetrahedral cells in a 7-simplex is 70. This makes 70 the central element in a seven by seven matrix configuration of a 7-simplex in seven-dimensional space:

Aside from the 7-simplex, there are a total of seventy other uniform 7-polytopes with symmetry. The 7-simplex can be constructed as the join of a point and a 6-simplex, whose order is 7!, where the 6-simplex has a total of seventy three-dimensional and two-dimensional elements (there are thirty-five 3-simplex cells, and thirty-five faces that are triangular).

70 is also the fifth pentatope number, as the number of 3-dimensional unit spheres which can be packed into a 4-simplex (or four-dimensional analogue of the regular tetrahedron) of edge-length 5.[18]

Leech lattice

[edit]

The sum of the first 24 squares starting from 1 is 702 = 4900, i.e. a square pyramidal number. This is the only non trivial solution to the cannonball problem, and relates 70 to the Leech lattice in twenty-four dimensions and thus string theory.

In science

[edit]

70 is the atomic number of ytterbium, a lanthanide.

In religion

[edit]
  • In Jewish tradition:
    • There is a core of 70 nations and 70 world languages, paralleling the 70 names in the Table of Nations.
    • There were 70 men in the Great Sanhedrin, the Supreme Court of ancient Israel. (Sanhedrin 1:4.)
    • According to the Jewish Aggada, there are 70 perspectives ("faces") to the Torah (Numbers Rabbah 13:15).
    • Seventy elders were assembled by Moses on God's command in the desert (Numbers 11:16–30).
    • Psalm 90:10 allots three score and ten (70 years) for a man's life, and the Mishnah attributes that age to "strength" (Avot 5:32), as one who survives that age is described by the verse as "the strong".
    • Ptolemy II Philadelphus ordered 72 Jewish elders to translate the Torah into Greek; the result was the Septuagint (from the Latin for "seventy"). The Roman numeral seventy, LXX, is the scholarly symbol for the Septuagint.
  • In Islamic history and in Islamic interpretation the number 70 or 72 is most often and generally hyperbole for an infinite amount:

In law

[edit]

In certain cases, copyrights expire after 70 (or 50) years, especially after the death of the latest author (see, Berne Convention).

In other fields

[edit]

Number name

[edit]

Several languages, especially ones with vigesimal number systems, do not have a specific word for 70: for example, French: soixante-dix, lit.'sixty-ten'; Danish: halvfjerds, short for halvfjerdsindstyve, 'three and a half score'. (For French, this is true only in France; other French-speaking regions such as Belgium, Switzerland, Aosta Valley and Jersey use septante.[19])

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The smallest sequence of seventy consecutive integers sharing a factor with either first or last member starts at the twenty-three digit number (with decimal representation), 26214699169906862478864 = 24 × 3 × 7 × 11 × 13 × 19 × 23 × 29 × 37 × 43 × 47 × 53 × 67 × 73 × 2221, or approximately 2.62 × 1022.[4] Its largest prime factor is the sixty-seventh super-prime,[5] where 70 lies midway between the thirteenth pair of sexy primes (67, 73).[6]
  2. ^ It is also a Harshad number in bases 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15 and 16.
  3. ^ Meanwhile, the aliquot sum of 164 = 74 + 40 + 50 is 130,[11] with a sum-of-divisors of 294,[12] and an arithmetic mean of divisors of 49.[13][14]
