Mathematically 59

Fifty Nine (59)

1. It is the smallest number which on division by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 leaves remainder 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively.

2. For every 59 rotations of Earth , Mercury rotates once.

3. It is one of the solution of the number which says –a^4 + b^4 = c^4 + d^4 where a< b < c < d. This was solved by Euler in 1772. 59^4 = 133^4 + 134^4 – 158^4 4. Only 59% of the moon’s surface can be observed from the earth. 5. It is the 17th smallest prime number. 6. Icosahedron has 59 Stellations. Stellation is a process of constructing new polygons in 2 dimensions and new polyhedral in 3 dimensions.


7. It lies in the middle of 3 x 3 prime magic square with magical constant as

17 89 71
113 59 5
47 29 101

8. It is one of the factors that divide the smallest composite Euclid number. Euclid numbers are integers of the form En = pn# + 1 where pn# is the product of first n primes. 13# + 1 = 30031 = 59 x 509 is the first composite Euclid number.
