My last post (the one I had just posted) was my 1969th post, which is important because I was born that year. However, I wanted this post to be my 1969th post, but instead it will be my 1970th post.

I even thought of deleting my last post, so that this would be number 1969. In fact I am still thinking of doing that. However, I have decided not to give in to my obsessiveness. But it really has ruined the end of a nice day.

interesting I know on other forums I would get mad if I posted the "wrong" thing on a certain number like number 100 or other numbers that I liked.

So would I. It would also make me unsure about that number in the future. For example, 135 or 657, if something bad happened and it was linked to these numbers in any way, I might start to feel unsafe around them.

Unfortunately, 89 has no real significance to me. :wink:

Basso53: 89 is thoroughly awesome. It's composed of two digits, which are 2^3 and 3^2 respectively, the symmetry of which makes it a really glistening number. But's also just a bit slippery because it's one less than a multiple of 9 yet one more than a multiple of 8. It's a pale pink and green color and reminds me of the key of B major.

P.S. This ^^^ is the by far the weirdest post I've ever posted on WP. Trust me, I do not have synesthesia, but for some reason I can't not feel these things about the number 89 and I have no clue why.

I think that 89 is also a prime number. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any number that it's evenly divisible by, other than 1???

Now you have me making a mental picture of how I could arrange 5 sharps to look like the number 89.

Yes, 89 is prime, which makes it cooler.
I just realized that the numbers I really like are the prime ones, because they are individualists and not copycats.

Sometimes I do like some non-prime numbers. When I was little I liked 120, and I didn't know why, but now I know 120=
1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5
or
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15

i just wrote a program to find the number below 100000 with the greatest amount of factors.

without looking beyond 100000, my favourite number is 83160.
it has 128 factors:

83160, 41580, 27720, 20790, 16632, 13860, 11880, 10395, 9240, 8316, 7560, 6930, 5940, 5544, 4620, 4158, 3960, 3780, 3465, 3080, 2970, 2772, 2520, 2376, 2310, 2079, 1980, 1890, 1848, 1540, 1512, 1485, 1386, 1320, 1260, 1188, 1155, 1080, 990, 945, 924, 840, 792, 770, 756, 693, 660, 630, 616, 594, 540, 504, 495, 462, 440, 420, 396, 385, 378, 360, 330, 315, 308, 297, 280, 270, 264, 252, 231, 220, 216, 210, 198, 189, 180, 168, 165, 154, 140, 135, 132, 126, 120, 110, 108, 105, 99, 90, 88, 84, 77, 72, 70, 66, 63, 60, 56, 55, 54, 45, 44, 42, 40, 36, 35, 33, 30, 28, 27, 24, 22, 21, 20, 18, 15, 14, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Does it follow a specific sequence? I.E is it quadratic? That would be cool.
Or do you just like the fact that the numbers are near each other in terms of factors?

I was talking to you.
What I meant was, are there any other specifications to the program? Thanks for answering anyway.
It's still awesome (the number and the factors)!

I always miss the special numbers. My birth year, other special years, 666, every whole thousand, you name it. I even only realized I had passed 10 000 posts when I was a couple of posts over.
