Mystical Number 27

Date: 7^th July, 2013

Wondering why I dedicated a special page for THE NUMBER ‘27’?

I am sure; all you readers have had the thought in your minds, 'why does Pravin use 2pravin7 as his username in almost all the forums?' Why not any other number? Well, here I am to answer your questions.

Listed below are (72)* / (6+1) = 7 different categories:-

1. Personally

1. Date of publishing this post to public:
   7^th July, 2013 = 7/7/2013 = 7+7+2+0+1+3 = 2
   It is also the 27^th week of the year 2013!!
2. P+R+A+V+I+N + S+I+N+G+I = 6+5 = 11 = 1+1 = 2
   07 + 12 + 1990 = 7+3+19 = 29 = 2+9 = 11 = 1+1 = 2
   07 + 12 + 1990 =  2009  =  2+0+0+9  = 11 = 1+1 = 2
   07+DECEMBER(8)+1990 = 7+8+19 = 34 = 3+4 = 7
3. Of-course, December '007' is my birth-date! Don't you think the date was lucky enough to have me tagged onto it!
4. I presently stay on the 7^th Floor in my new society; Flat No. 703. Which also happens to be the 27^th Flat of my building
5. Being a computer engineer, ASCII values is all that we play around with!
   2+P+R+A+V+I+N+7 = 50+80+82+65+86+73+78+55 = 569 = 5+6+9 = 20 = 2+0 = 2
   
   

2. In Mathematics

8. In base 10, it is the first composite number not evenly divisible by any of its digits
9. In base 10, it is a Smith number and a Harshad number
10. It is the twenty-seventh (and twenty-eighth) digit in π if you start counting with 0. (3.141592653589793238462643383279...). It is considered one of few Self-Locating strings in pi. In other words, 27 appears the first time after 27 the digit
11. The numbers surrounding the first 27 in Pi are 3 and 9. 3x9=27 
12. 27 contains the decimal digits 2 and 7, and is the result of adding together the integers from 2 to 7 (2+3+4+5+6+7=27)
13. There are exactly 27 straight lines on a smooth cubic surface, which give a basis of the fundamental representation of the E₆ Lie algebra
14. 27 is also a decagonal number
15. 27 is the first odd cube greater than 1
16. 27 is equal to the sum of the digits in its cube. (27³ = 19683 and 1 + 9 + 6 + 8 + 3 = 27)  
17. Sum of the 7th odd & 7th even numbers = 13 + 14 = 27
18. All positive integers are the sum of at most 27 primes
19. 27 is the smallest integer which is the sum of three squares in two different ways.
    (27 = 1² + 1² + 5² and 27 = 3² + 3² + 3²) 
20. The sum of the 7th odd & 7th even numbers is 27. (13 + 14 = 27)
21. 2 and 7 are the smallest and largest single-digit primes
22. It is the radix (base) of the septemvigesimal positional numeral system
23. In a prime reciprocal magic square of the multiples of 1/7, the magic constant is 27

25. The smallest 2-digit number in which the sum of digits is equal to the sum of prime factors (27 = 3 * 3 * 3 and 3 + 3 + 3 = 9)
26. Vaughan (1977) showed that all integers are the sum of at most 27 prime numbers
27. The smallest composite number which cannot be expressed as the sum of two primes
28. The only prime cube that is one less than an even perfect number
29. 3 / 11 = .27 with 27 repeating
    6 / 11 = .54 with 54 repeating
    9 / 11 = .81 with 81 repeating
    12 / 11 = 1.09 with 09 repeating
    15 / 11 = 1.36 with 36 repeating
    18 / 11 = 1.63 with 63 repeating
    21 / 11 = 1.90 with 90 repeating
    24 / 11 = 2.18 with 18 repeating
    27 / 11 = 2.45 with 45 repeating
    30 / 11 = 2.72 with 72 repeating
    
    The repeating digits are below:
    27 54 81 09 36 | 63 90 18 45 72
    
    Notice that the pattern starts at 27 and once it reaches 36 the numbers reverse and end at 72. This pattern continues every 10 digits using multiples of 3 divided by 11.
    Another interesting thing is that I've heard that some have found interesting correlations between 27 and 11. I've had people tell me "No, I don't see 27s often, but I do see 11s."

42. Present day calendar:
    60 seconds/min X 60 minutes/hour X 24 hours/day X 365.25 days/year = 31557600 = 3+1+5+5+7+6+0+0 = 27

5. In Music & Video

46. Many talented and famous rock/blues musicians died at age 27. These include Robert Johnson, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Ron McKernan, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse. The musicians who died at this age are often referred to as the 27 Club.
47. There are 29.97 frames of video per second (f/s) in video. There are 60 seconds in a minute (s/m). There are 60 minutes in an hour (m/h).
    2+9+9+7 = 27
    Now, 29.97 f/s x 60s/m = 1798.2 = 1+7+9+8+2 = 27
    Now 1798.2 f/m x 60 m/h = 107892 = 1+0+7+8+9+2 = 27
    Now that stops our measurement of time but lets continue
    107892 x 60 = 6473520 = add them up = 27
    6473520 x 60 = 388411200 = add them up = 27
    Now, multiplying this by 60 again will not work however,
    388411200 / 27 = 14385600 = add them up = 27
    Now, that we used 27 again lets go back to 60,
    14385600 / 60 = 239760 = add them up = 27
    239760 / 60 = 3996 = add them up = 27
    
    Now let’s add all the numbers from the equations we used but do not use what each equation was equal to. Go right down the steps.
    29.97+60+60+60+60+27+60+60 = 416.97 = add them up = 27.
    It seems to me that the number 60 is very closely related to 27.
48. There were 7 Horcruxes in the Harry Potter movie series.
