32 (number)

32 is the fifth power of two (${\displaystyle 2^{5}}$), making it the first non-unitary fifth-power of the form p⁵ where p is prime. 32 is the totient summatory function ${\displaystyle \Phi (n)}$ over the first 10 integers,[1] and the smallest number ${\displaystyle n}$ with exactly 7 solutions for ${\displaystyle \varphi (n)}$. The aliquot sum of a power of two (${\displaystyle 2^{n}}$) is always one less than the number itself, therefore the aliquot sum of 32 is 31.

$${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}32&=1^{1}+2^{2}+3^{3}\\32&=(1\times 4)+(2\times 5)+(3\times 6)\\32&=(1\times 2)+(1\times 2\times 3)+(1\times 2\times 3\times 4)\\\end{aligned}}}$$

The product between neighbor numbers of 23, the dual permutation of the digits of 32 in decimal, is equal to the sum of the first 32 integers: ${\displaystyle 22\times 24=528}$.[2]

32 is the ninth 10-happy number, while 23 is the sixth.[3] Their sum is 55, which is the tenth triangular number,[2] while their difference is ${\displaystyle 9=3^{2}}$.

32 is also a Leyland number expressible in the form ${\displaystyle x^{y}+y^{x}}$, where:

${\displaystyle 32=2^{4}+4^{2}}$[4]

On the other hand, a regular 32-sided icosidodecagon contains ${\displaystyle 2^{3}+3^{2}=17}$ distinct symmetries.[5][lower-alpha 1]

There are collectively 32 uniform colorings to the 11 regular and semiregular tilings.[6]

The product of the five known Fermat primes is equal to the number of sides of the largest regular constructible polygon with a straightedge and compass that has an odd number of sides, with a total of sides numbering

${\displaystyle 2^{32}-1=3\cdot 5\cdot 17\cdot 257\cdot 65\;537=4\;294\;967\;295}$

The first 32 rows of Pascal's triangle in binary represent the thirty-two divisors that belong to this number, which is also the number of sides of all odd-sided constructible polygons with simple tools alone (if the monogon is also included).[7]

There are 32 three-dimensional crystallographic point groups[8] and 32 five-dimensional crystal families,[9] and the maximum determinant in a 7 by 7 matrix of only zeroes and ones is 32.[10] In sixteen dimensions, the sedenions generate a non-commutative loop ${\displaystyle \mathbb {S} _{L}}$ of order 32,[11] and in thirty-two dimensions, there are at least 1,160,000,000 even unimodular lattices (of determinants 1 or −1);[12] which is a marked increase from the twenty-four such Niemeier lattices that exists in twenty-four dimensions, or the single ${\displaystyle \mathrm {E} _{8}}$ lattice in eight dimensions (these lattices only exist for dimensions ${\displaystyle d\propto 8}$). Furthermore, the 32nd dimension is the first dimension that holds non-critical even unimodular lattices that do not interact with a Gaussian potential function of the form ${\displaystyle f_{\alpha }(r)=e^{-\alpha {r}}}$ of root ${\displaystyle r}$ and ${\displaystyle \alpha >0}$.[13]
