175 (one hundred [and] seventy-five) is the natural number following 174 and preceding 176.

In mathematics

[edit]

Raising the decimal digits of 175 to the powers of successive integers produces 175 back again: 175 = 11 + 72 + 53.[1]

175 is a figurate number for a rhombic dodecahedron, the difference of two consecutive fourth powers: 175 = 44 − 34.[2] It is also a decagonal number and a decagonal pyramid number, the smallest number after 1 that has both properties.[3]

175 is the natural number following 174 and preceding 176, an odd three-digit whose prime factorization is 52×75^2 \times 7. As a , 175 has exactly six positive divisors: 1, 5, 7, 25, 35, and 175, with their sum equaling 248, which is less than 2×175=3502 \times 175 = 350, classifying it as a . In the decimal representation, 175 is written as 1.75×[102](/page/10+2)1.75 \times [10^2](/page/10+2), and the sum of its digits is 13. Notably, 175 is the seventh decagonal number, generated by the formula n(4n3)n(4n-3) for n=7n=7, representing a with ten sides. Furthermore, 175 admits an elegant expression as a mixed sum of powers: 13+53+72=1+125+49=1751^3 + 5^3 + 7^2 = 1 + 125 + 49 = 175. In binary, 175 is 101011112_2, and its square is 30625, while the first ten multiples of 175 are 175, 350, 525, 700, 875, 1050, 1225, 1400, 1575, and 1750. Beyond mathematics, 175 holds cultural significance as the age attained by the biblical patriarch Abraham upon his death, as recorded in Genesis 25:7. Additionally, the 175-year span has been referenced in recent discussions of prominent Jewish immigration to San Francisco over the past 175 years.

Mathematical properties

Prime factorization and divisors

The prime factorization of 175 is 52×75^2 \times 7. This decomposition arises from dividing 175 successively by its smallest prime factors: 175 ÷ 5 = 35, 35 ÷ 5 = 7, and 7 is prime. The positive divisors of 175 are all products of these prime powers: 1, 5, 7, 25, 35, and 175. The sum of the divisors function, denoted σ(175), equals 248, calculated as the product of the sums of the exponents in the prime plus one: (1 + 5 + 25)(1 + 7) = 31 × 8 = 248. The sum of the proper divisors (excluding 175 itself) is therefore 73. Since this value is less than 175, the number is classified as deficient. 175 is an odd , as it is odd (not divisible by 2) and has more than two distinct positive divisors. It is not a , which requires exactly three distinct prime factors; here, one prime (5) is repeated.

Figurate and polyhedral numbers

Figurate numbers, also known as polygonal numbers, represent the number of dots or units arranged in the shape of a , extending the concepts of triangular and square numbers to higher-sided polygons. Polyhedral numbers build on this by forming three-dimensional structures, such as pyramids or other polyhedra, where layers of polygonal numbers are stacked. The number 175 is the seventh , corresponding to the arrangement of dots forming a with side length 7, given by the formula n(4n3)n(4n - 3) where n=7n = 7. Additionally, 175 is the fifth decagonal pyramidal number, representing the total units in a pyramid with a decagonal base and height 5, and it is the smallest greater than 1 that is both a decagonal number and a decagonal pyramidal number. 175 is also the fourth , which counts the points in a three-dimensional figurate arrangement based on the , a space-filling dual to the .

Special sums and identities

175 is a disarium number, a type of where the sum of its digits each raised to the power of its position (counting from the left, starting at 1) equals the original number itself. For 175, this holds as 11+72+53=1+49+125=1751^1 + 7^2 + 5^3 = 1 + 49 + 125 = 175. Disarium numbers are relatively rare; among positive integers, there are 19 such numbers, all with at most 20 digits, including single-digit numbers and others like 89, 135, and 518. This property positions 175 as a narcissistic-like number, akin to Armstrong numbers but using varying exponents based on digit positions rather than a fixed exponent equal to the number of digits. Additionally, 175 can be expressed as the difference of consecutive fourth powers: 4434=25681=1754^4 - 3^4 = 256 - 81 = 175. This representation appears in historical computations of power differences, such as those by in the early , where 175 is listed among the first differences of fourth powers (1, 15, 65, 175, 369).

Representations in numeral systems

Verbal and symbolic notations

In English, the cardinal number 175 is denoted verbally as "one hundred seventy-five," following standard conventions for composing hundreds, tens, and units in the language. The corresponding ordinal form is "one hundred seventy-fifth," often abbreviated as 175th in written contexts to indicate position or sequence. The Roman numeral system, which originated in during the 8th century BCE and derived from earlier Etruscan notations, represents 175 as CLXXV; this breaks down to C for 100, L for 50, XX for 20 (two instances of X), and V for 5, using additive principles with subtractive notation where applicable. Ancient Greeks employed two primary numeral systems: the earlier (acrophonic) system from the first millennium BCE, based on initial letters of number words, and the later Ionic (alphabetic) system, standardized around the 4th century BCE, which assigned values to letters of the . In the system, 175 is represented as Η𐅄ΔΔΔΠ (Η for 100, 𐅄 for 50, three Δ for 30, and Π for 5). In the Ionic system, 175 is written as ΡΟΕ´, where Ρ denotes 100, Ο represents 70, Ε signifies 5, and the overline (´) marks the symbols as numerals rather than letters.

Positional numeral systems

In positional numeral systems, numbers like 175 are expressed as sums of powers of the chosen base, where each digit represents a from 0 to base-1, positioned to indicate the power it multiplies. This allows compact representation in various computational and historical contexts, with the (base-10) form 175 serving as the standard reference for conversions. The conversion process involves repeated division of the number by the base, recording remainders as digits from least to most significant, until the quotient reaches zero. The following table summarizes 175's representations in selected positional bases, focusing on common systems used in and :

In binary (base-2), 175 appears as 10101111₂, an 8-bit that fits within a single byte in systems. This representation highlights a pattern of alternating bit clusters: the leading 1 indicates the 2^7 (128) place, followed by zeros and ones corresponding to powers 2^5 (32), 2^3 (8), 2^2 (4), 2^1 (2), and 2^0 (1), summing to 128 + 32 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 175. Such 8-bit binary encodings are fundamental in digital for efficient storage and processing.
