55

This number is a composite.

+ 55 is 5 times the 5th prime. [Woods]

+ Every number greater than 55 is the sum of distinct primes of the form 4n + 3. [Wells]

+ If sigma(n)/n is greater than 9, then n has at least 55 distinct prime factors. [Laatsch]

+ Klimov (1975) showed that all integers are the sum of at most 55 prime numbers.

+ The number of circular primes below 1,000,000. [Mudder]

+ The smallest semiprime of the form (4n + 3)*(4n - 3). [Bajpai]

+ 2^55-55 is the largest non-titanic prime of form 2^n-n, where n is a composite number. [Loungrides]

+ π(55) = 5+5+5+5/5 which requires 5 "5s" on the right. [Worrom]

+ A solution to the "Prime Queen Attacking Problem" including a configuration of maximal primes attacked for a Bishop (7 on one diagonal and 6 on the other). Found by Alessandro Casini of Italy in September 2023:
