What makes 69 notable
- Semiprime. 69 = 3 × 23, a product of exactly two primes. That gives it just four divisors, so it splits into equal groups in only two non-trivial ways.
69 in everyday use
Sixty-nine is the atomic number of thulium, the rarest of the stable rare earths. Apollo 11 landed on the Moon in 1969, the same year Woodstock drew hundreds of thousands to a New York dairy farm, and Bryan Adams later sang about the "Summer of '69". Because a 6 turned upside down becomes a 9, 69 reads the same when rotated by a half-turn, a property called strobogrammatic.
Sixty-nine is 3 × 23. It is the largest number whose factorial fits on most pocket calculators: 69! is about 1.7 × 10⁹⁸, while 70! exceeds 10¹⁰⁰ and overflows a two-digit exponent. Its square and cube, 4,761 and 328,509, together use each of the ten digits exactly once. In binary it is 1000101.
