Number 50

 

Fifty is the smallest number that is the sum of two non-zero square numbers in two distinct ways: 50 = 1² + 7² = 5² + 5² (see image). It is also the sum of three squares, 50 = 3² + 4² + 5², and the sum of four squares, 50 = 6² + 3² + 2² + 1². It is a Harshad number.

50 is a Stirling number of the first kind: ${\displaystyle \left[{5 \atop 2}\right]=50}$  and also a Narayana number: ${\displaystyle \operatorname {N} (6,3)=\operatorname {N} (6,4)=50}$ 

There is no solution to the equation φ(x) = 50, making 50 a nontotient. Nor is there a solution to the equation x − φ(x) = 50, making 50 a noncototient.

Fifty is the sum of the number of faces that make up the Platonic solids (4 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 20 = 50).
