Natural number
23 (twenty-three ) is thenatural number following22 and preceding24 . It is aprime number .
Twenty-three is the ninthprime number , the smallest odd prime that is not atwin prime .[ 1] It is, however, acousin prime with19 , and asexy prime with17 and29 ; while also being the largest member of the firstprime sextuplet (7 ,11 ,13 , 17, 19, 23).[ 2] Twenty-three is also the next to last member of the firstCunningham chain of the first kind (2 ,5 , 11, 23,47 ),[ 3] and the sum of theprime factors of the second set of consecutivediscrete semiprimes , (21 ,22 ). 23 is the smallest odd prime to be ahighly cototient number , as the solution tox − ϕ ( x ) {\displaystyle x-\phi (x)} for the integers95 ,119 ,143 , and529 .[ 4]
23 is the secondSmarandache–Wellin prime inbase ten, as it is the concatenation of the decimal representations of the first two primes (2 and 3) and is itself also prime,[ 5] and ahappy number .[ 6] The sum of the first nine primes up to 23 is asquare :2 + 3 + ⋯ + 23 = 100 = 10 2 {\displaystyle 2+3+\dots +23=100=10^{2}} and the sum of the first 23 primes is874 , which is divisible by 23, a property shared by few other numbers.[ 7] [ 8] It is the fifthfactorial prime ,[ 9] and since 14! + 1 is a multiple of 23, but 23 is not one more than a multiple of14 , 23 is the firstPillai prime .[ 10] In the list offortunate numbers , 23 occurs twice, since adding 23 to either the fifth or eighthprimorial gives a prime number (namely 2333 and 9699713).[ 11] 23 has the distinction of being one of two integers that cannot be expressed as the sum of fewer than 9 cubes of positive integers (the other is239 ). SeeWaring's problem . The twenty-thirdhighly composite number 20,160[ 12] is one less than the last number (the 339thsuper-prime 20,161) that cannot be expressed as the sum of twoabundant numbers .[ 13] Otherwise,46 = 23 × 2 {\displaystyle 46=23\times 2} is the largesteven number that is not the sum of two abundant numbers. 23 is the secondWoodall prime ,[ 14] and anEisenstein prime with noimaginary part andreal part of the form3 n − 1. {\displaystyle 3n-1.} It is the fifthSophie Germain prime [ 15] and the fourthsafe prime .[ 16] 23 is the number oftrees on 8 unlabeled nodes.[ 17] It is also aWedderburn–Etherington number , which are numbers that can be used to count certainbinary trees .[ 18] Thenatural logarithms of allpositive integers lower than 23 are known to have binaryBBP-type formulae .[ 19] 23 is the first primep for which unique factorization ofcyclotomic integers based on thep th root of unity breaks down.[ 20] 23 is the smallest positive solution toSunzi 's original formulation of theChinese remainder theorem . 23 is the smallestprime p {\displaystyle p} such that the largest consecutive pair ofp {\displaystyle p} -smooth numbers (11859210, 11859211) is the same as the largest consecutive pair of( p − 1 ) {\displaystyle (p-1)} -smooth numbers.[ 21] According to thebirthday paradox , in a group of 23 or more randomly chosen people, the probability is more than 50% that some pair of them will have the same birthday.[ 22]
A related coincidence is that365 times thenatural logarithm of 2, approximately 252.999, is very close to the number of pairs of 23 items and 22ndtriangular number ,253 . The first twenty-three odd prime numbers (between3 and89 inclusive), are allcluster primes p {\displaystyle p} such that every even positive integerk ≤ p − 3 {\displaystyle k\leq p-3} can be written as the sum of two prime numbers that do not exceedp {\displaystyle p} .[ 23] 23 is the smallestdiscriminant of imaginary quadratic fields with class number 3 (negated),[ 24] and it is the smallest discriminant ofcomplex cubic fields (also negated).[ 25] The twenty-thirdpermutable prime in decimalR 19 {\displaystyle R_{19}} is also the second to be aprime repunit (afterR 2 {\displaystyle R_{2}} ), followed byR 23 {\displaystyle R_{23}} andR 1031 {\displaystyle R_{1031}} .[ 26] [ 27] [ 28] [ 29] Hilbert's problems are twenty-three problems in mathematics published by German mathematician David Hilbert in 1900.
The firstMersenne number of the form2 n − 1 {\displaystyle 2^{n}-1} that does not yield aprime number when inputting a primeexponent is2047 = 23 × 89 , {\displaystyle 2047=23\times 89,} withn = 11. {\displaystyle n=11.} [ 30]
On the other hand, the secondcomposite Mersenne number contains an exponentn {\displaystyle n} of twenty-three:M 23 = 2 23 − 1 = 8 388 607 = 47 × 178 481 {\displaystyle M_{23}=2^{23}-1=8\;388\;607=47\times 178\;481}
The twenty-third prime number (83 ) is an exponent to the fourteenth composite Mersenne number, which factorizes into two prime numbers, the largest of which is twenty-three digits long when written inbase ten :[ 31] [ 32] M 83 = 967...407 = 167 × 57 912 614 113 275 649 087 721 {\displaystyle M_{83}=967...407=167\times 57\;912\;614\;113\;275\;649\;087\;721}
Further down in this sequence, the seventeenth and eighteenth composite Mersenne numbers have two prime factors each as well, where the largest of these are respectively twenty-two and twenty-four digits long,M 103 = 101 … 007 = 2 550 183 799 × 3 976 656 429 941 438 590 393 M 109 = 649 … 511 = 745 988 807 × 870 035 986 098 720 987 332 873 {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}M_{103}&=101\ldots 007=2\;550\;183\;799\times 3\;976\;656\;429\;941\;438\;590\;393\\M_{109}&=649\ldots 511=745\;988\;807\times 870\;035\;986\;098\;720\;987\;332\;873\\\end{aligned}}}
Where prime exponents forM 23 {\displaystyle M_{23}} andM 83 {\displaystyle M_{83}} add to106 , which lies in between prime exponents ofM 103 {\displaystyle M_{103}} andM 109 {\displaystyle M_{109}} , the index of the latter two (17 and18 ) in the sequence of Mersenne numbers sum to35 , which is the twenty-third composite number.[ 33]
23 ! {\displaystyle 23!} is twenty-threedigits long in decimal, and there are only three other numbersn {\displaystyle n} whosefactorials generate numbers that aren {\displaystyle n} digits long in base ten:1 ,22 , and 24 .
TheLeech lattice Λ24 is a 24-dimensionallattice through which 23 otherpositive definite evenunimodular Niemeier lattices ofrank 24 are built, and vice-versa.Λ24 represents the solution to thekissing number in 24 dimensions as the precise lattice structure for the maximum number ofspheres that can fill 24-dimensional space without overlapping, equal to 196,560 spheres. These 23 Niemeier lattices are located atdeep holes ofradii √2 in lattice points around its automorphism group,Conway group C 0 {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} _{0}} . The Leech lattice can be constructed in various ways, which include:
By means of amatrix of the form( I a H / 2 H / 2 I b ) {\displaystyle \scriptstyle {\begin{pmatrix}Ia&H/2\\H/2&Ib\end{pmatrix}}} whereI {\displaystyle I} is theidentity matrix andH {\displaystyle H} is a 24 by 24Hadamard matrix (Z /23Z ∪ ∞) witha = 2 andb = 3, andentries X(∞) = 1 and X(0) = -1 with X(n ) thequadratic residue symbolmod 23 for nonzeron . Through theextended binary Golay code B 24 {\displaystyle \mathbb {B} _{24}} andWitt designW 24 {\displaystyle \mathbb {W} _{24}} , which produce a construction of the 196,560 minimalvectors in the Leech lattice. The extended binary Golay code is an extension of theperfect binary Golay code B 23 {\displaystyle \mathbb {B} _{23}} , which hascodewords ofsize 23.B 23 {\displaystyle \mathbb {B} _{23}} hasMathieu groupM 23 {\displaystyle \mathbb {M} _{23}} as itsautomorphism group , which is the second largest member of thefirst generation in thehappy family ofsporadic groups .M 23 {\displaystyle \mathbb {M} _{23}} has a minimumfaithful complex representation in 22dimensions andgroup-3 actions on253 objects , with 253 equal to the number of pairs of objects in a set of 23 objects. In turn,M 23 {\displaystyle \mathbb {M} _{23}} is the automorphism group ofMathieu groupM 24 {\displaystyle \mathbb {M} _{24}} , which works throughW 24 {\displaystyle \mathbb {W} _{24}} to generate8 -elementoctads whose individual elements occur 253 times through its entireblock design . Using Niemer latticeD 24 ofgroup order 223 ·24! andCoxeter number 46 = 2·23, it can be made into amodule over thering of integers ofquadratic field Q ( − 23 ) {\displaystyle \mathbb {Q} ({\sqrt {-23}})} , whereby multiplyingD 24 by anon-principal ideal of the ring of integers yields the Leech lattice. Conway andSloane provided constructions of the Leech lattice from all other 23 Niemeier lattices.[ 34]
Twenty-three four-dimensionalcrystal families exist within the classification ofspace groups . These are accompanied by sixenantiomorphic forms, maximizing the total count totwenty-nine crystal families.[ 35] Fivecubes can be arranged to form twenty-threefree pentacubes , or twenty-nine distinctone-sided pentacubes (with reflections).[ 36] [ 37]
There are 23 three-dimensionaluniform polyhedra that arecell facets insideuniform 4-polytopes that are not part of infinite families ofantiprismatic prisms andduoprisms : the fivePlatonic solids , the thirteenArchimedean solids , and five semiregularprisms (thetriangular ,pentagonal ,hexagonal ,octagonal , anddecagonal prisms).
23Coxeter groups ofparacompact hyperbolic honeycombs in thethird dimension generate151 uniqueWythoffian constructions of paracompact honeycombs. 23 four-dimensional Euclidean honeycombs are generated from theB ~ 4 {\displaystyle {\tilde {B}}_{4}} cubic group , and 23 five-dimensionaluniform polytopes are generated from theD 5 {\displaystyle \mathrm {D} _{5}} demihypercubic group .
Intwo-dimensional geometry, the regular 23-sidedicositrigon is the first regular polygon that is not constructible with acompass and straight edge or with the aide of anangle trisector (since it is neither aFermat prime nor aPierpont prime ), nor byneusis or a double-notched straight edge.[ 38] It is also not constructible withorigami , however it is through other traditional methods for all regular polygons.[ 39]
