The first: 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720, 5040, 40320, 362880, 3628800, 39916800, 479001600 (sequence A000142 in the OEIS). 0! = 1 is sometimes included. A k-smooth number (for a natural number k) has its prime factors ≤ k (so it is also j-smooth for any j > k). m is smoother than n if the largest prime factor of m is below the largest of n.
a highly abundant number has a sum of positive divisors that is greater than any lesser number; that is, σ(n) > σ(m) for every positive integer m < n. Counterintuitively, the first seven highly abundant numbers are not abundant numbers. a prime number has only 1 and itself as divisors; that is, d(n) = 2
The factorizations are often not unique in the sense that the unit could be absorbed into any other factor with exponent equal to one. The entry 4+2i = −i(1+i) 2 (2+i), for example, could also be written as 4+2i= (1+i) 2 (1−2i). The entries in the table resolve this ambiguity by the following convention: the factors are primes in the right ...
The only prime belonging to two pairs of cousin primes is 7. One of the numbers n, n + 4, n + 8 will always be divisible by 3, so n = 3 is the only case where all three are primes. An example of a large proven cousin prime pair is (p, p + 4) for = + which has 20008 digits.
Mersenne primes and perfect numbers are two deeply interlinked types of natural numbers in number theory. Mersenne primes, named after the friar Marin Mersenne, are prime numbers that can be expressed as 2 p − 1 for some positive integer p. For example, 3 is a Mersenne prime as it is a prime number and is expressible as 2 2 − 1.

Base systems corresponding to primorials (such as base 30, not to be confused with the primorial number system) have a lower proportion of repeating fractions than any smaller base. Every primorial is a sparsely totient number. [10] The n-compositorial of a composite number n is the product of all composite numbers up to and including n. [11]
A composite number with two prime factors is a semiprime or 2-almost prime (the factors need not be distinct, hence squares of primes are included). A composite number with three distinct prime factors is a sphenic number. In some applications, it is necessary to differentiate between composite numbers with an odd number of distinct prime ...
