Properties
Arithmetic
- 17 is the seventh prime number, after thirteen and before nineteen.
- 17 is the third prime number of Fermat (n = 2), after 5 and before 257. Thanks to this property, heptadecagons with ruler and compass can be built, as Carl Friedrich Gauss demonstrated.
- Make a pair of twin prime numbers along with 19.
- 17 = 13 + 2 + 2 = 11 + 3 + 3 = 7 + 7 + 3
- Since (4 + i) (4-i) = (1 + 4i) (1-4i) = 17, this number is not prime in the ring of Gaussian integers. I don’t know
- 17 is the sum of two squares 4 2+ 1 2 , since it is a prime of the form 4k + 1 (k, integer), it also divides a sum of squares 9 2 + 2 2
- It is a Pythagorean prime number.
- Since 17 = 9 + 4 + 4, sum of three squares, its square root would be the diagonal of a straight rectangular prism-
- 17 is the sum of three cubes 2 3+ 2 3 + 1 3 = 17
- Sum of two fourth powers 2 4+ 1 4 = 17
- sum of the first four rational primes 2 + 3 + 5 + 7
Divisibility
- Let K = 10a + b, when a + 12b is a multiple of 17, it will be K. ejm, 4182 → 418 + 2×12 = 442 → 44 + 2×12 = 68, multiple of 17
Notations
- base two or binary: 10001
- base 3 or ternary: 122
- base 4, quaternary 101
- base 5, quinary 32
- senario 25
- octal 21
- base 12 duodecimal 15
- base 16 hexadecimal 11
Geometric
- A 17-sided polygon is called the heptadecagon
- By 17 points of the non-aligned plane of three, 17 (17 + 1) can be drawn: 2 = 153 lines
- Gauss wanted a 17-sided polygon (heptadecagon) to appear on his tombstone
