45 (number)

45 (forty-five) is the natural number following 44 and followed by 46.

In mathematics

Forty-five is the smallest odd number that has more divisors than $n+1$, and that has a larger sum of divisors than $n+1$. It is the sixth positive integer with a prime factorization of the form $p^q$, with and being prime.

Forty-five is the sum of all single-digit decimal digits: $0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=45$. It is, equivalently, the ninth triangle number.

Forty-five is also the fourth hexagonal number and the second hexadecagonal number, or 16-gonal number. It is also the second smallest triangle number (after 1 and 10) that can be written as the sum of two squares.

Since the greatest prime factor of $45^+1=2026$ is 1,013, which is much more than 45 twice, 45 is a Størmer number. In decimal, 45 is a Kaprekar number and a Harshad number.

Forty-five is a little Schroeder number; the next such number is 197, which is the 45th prime number.

Forty-five is conjectured from Ramsey numbers $R(5, 5)$.
