35 is the sum of the first five triangular numbers
, making it a tetrahedral number. 35 is the number of ways that three things can be selected from a set of seven unique things also known as the "combination
of seven things taken three at a time". 35 is a centered cube number
, a pentagonal number and a pentatope number. 35 is a highly cototient number
, since there are more solutions to the equation x - φ(x) = 35 than there are for any other integers below it except 1. There are 35 free hexominoes
, the polyominoes made from six squares. Since the greatest prime factor of 35^{2 + 1 = 1226 is 613, which is obviously more than 35 twice, 35 is a}^{Størmer number}
^.35 is a discrete
^semiprime^{(or biprime) (5 × 7); the tenth, and the first with 5 as the lowest non-unitary factor. The aliquot sum of 35 is 13 this being the second}^{composite number}^{with such an aliquot sum; the first being the cube 27. 35 is the last member of the first triple cluster of semiprimes 33,34,35. 85,86,87 is the second such triple discrete semiprime cluster.}35 is the highest number one can count to on one's fingers using
^{base 6}^.
