In mathematics
Forty-eight is the double factorial of 6,[1] a highly composite number.[2] Like all other multiples of 6, it is a semiperfect number.[3] 48 is the second 17-gonal number.[4]
48 is the smallest number with exactly ten divisors.
There are 11 solutions to the equation φ(x) = 48, namely 65, 104, 105, 112, 130, 140, 144, 156, 168, 180 and 210. This is more than any integer below 48, making 48 a highly totient number.[5]
Since the greatest prime factor of 482 + 1 = 2305 is 461, which is clearly more than twice 48, 48 is a Størmer number.[6]
48 is a Harshad number in base 10.[7] It has 24, 2, 12, and 4 as factors.
