25 (twenty-five) is the
natural number
In mathematics, the natural numbers are the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on, possibly excluding 0. Some start counting with 0, defining the natural numbers as the non-negative integers , while others start with 1, defining them as the positive in ...

In mathematics

It is a
square number, being
52 = 5 × 5, and hence the third non-unitary square
prime of the form ''p''
2.
It is one of two two-digit numbers whose square and higher powers of the number also ends in the same last two digits, e.g., 25
2 = 625; the other is
76.
25 has an even
aliquot sum of 6, which is itself the first even and
perfect number root of an aliquot sequence; not ending in (
1 and 0).
It is the smallest square that is also a sum of two (non-zero) squares: 25 = 3
2 + 4
2. Hence, it often appears in illustrations of the
Pythagorean theorem.
25 is the sum of the five consecutive single-digit odd natural numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9.
25 is a
centered octagonal number, a
centered square number, a
centered octahedral number, and an
automorphic number.
25 percent (%) is equal to .
It is the smallest
decimal Friedman number as it can be expressed by its own digits: 5
2.
It is also a
Cullen number and a vertically symmetrical number. 25 is the smallest
pseudoprime satisfying the congruence 7
''n'' = 7 mod ''n''.
25 is the smallest
aspiring number — a composite non-
sociable number whose
aliquot sequence does not terminate.
According to the
Shapiro inequality, 25 is the smallest odd integer ''n'' such that there exist ''x'', ''x'', ..., ''x'' such that
:
where ''x'' = ''x'', ''x'' = ''x''.
Within decimal, one can readily test for divisibility by 25 by seeing if the last two digits of the number match 00, 25, 50, or 75.

The 24-cell can be further generated using three copies of the

In religion
*In Ezekiel's vision of a new temple: The number twenty-five is of cardinal importance in Ezekiel's Temple Vision (in the Bible,
Ezekiel chapters 40–48).
In sports
*In baseball, the number 25 is typically reserved for the best slugger on the team. Examples include
Mark McGwire,
Barry Bonds,
Jim Thome, and
Mark Teixeira.
In other fields
Twenty-five is:
* The number of years of marriage marked in a silver
wedding anniversary.
