When I was a young child I used to have an obsession with the number seven. Anytime a person would normally count to three, such as when my mom was lifting me into a shopping cart basket or a gymnastics teacher was lifting me up to the high bars, they would have to count to seven instead or I wouldn't cooperate with whatever they were doing! If seven was unfeasible, two or four would do.

7 and 11.
Numbers that when added together equal 7 or 11 are good too. For example 34, 56, etc. As well multiples of 7 or 11.
All prime numbers are acceptable. Pi is great too, if it counts.

12. 36, 72 and 360. I like how they can be divided most of the time.

People who are saying "i" should study more about complex numbers. "i" has precisely the same properties as "-i", they are indistinguishable. (To be precise, there is an isometric ring automorphism on C which sends "i" to "-i".) So if "i" is one of your favourite numbers, but "-i" isn't, you're not making any sense.

Seven, an honorable number. It even had the guts to eat nine.

I like the number 3 for some reason. I think I like how it sounds.

I have lots of favorite numbers.
Let's begin with natural numbers: 2 (because it's the only even prime number), 4 (because it's the simplest perfect square, and the glyph is very interesting), 8 (because it's the only digit that is symmetric, besides 0), 23 (because it's my birthday), FFhex (because it's the last number in hexadecimal system before 100) and finally googol and googolplex and googolplexplex and so on (because of the astonishing number of zeros)
Integers: none
Rational: 0,99999... (because this number is equal to 1, so, every number is equal to one and to infinity, so 1+2=4 or 5 or 1000 or googolplexplexplex)
Real: Pi (π, the ratio number), Phi (Φ, the golden number) and the sqrt(2)
Complex: i (because it's odd) and the 4sqrt(-81) and sqrt(-9) which is 3i
That's pretty much it...

8 because my birthday is August 8th. Also infinity because it represents the limitless possibilities of imagination, and it is 8 turned sideways :wink: .

Ever since elementary school, I have always been found of the number 4 and any number containing four as a digit. Four reminds me of a square (obviously), and squares remind me of balance, and balance sets me at ease. Thus, the number 4 sets me at ease.
As of late, I am also growing quite found of tau (2pi)--it is an amazing little number with broad applications in the field of trigonometry. I do, however, respect pi and the thirteen digits I remember of it (still working on tau, though it's about 6.283...).

My favorite number has to be pi. I have it memorized to 67 decimals: 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078. I'm working on memorizing it to on 100 decimal, maybe more.
