25 (number)

25 is a square.

It is a square number, being 5² = 5 × 5, and hence the third non-unitary square prime of the form p².

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., 25² = 625; the other is 76.

Twenty five 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 = 3² + 4². 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,[1] a centered square number,[2] a centered octahedral number,[3] and an automorphic number.[4]

25 percent (%) is equal to 1/4.

It is the smallest decimal Friedman number as it can be expressed by its own digits: 5².[5]

It is also a Cullen number[6] and a vertically symmetrical number.[7] 25 is the smallest pseudoprime satisfying the congruence 7ⁿ = 7 mod n.

25 is the smallest aspiring number — a composite non-sociable number whose aliquot sequence does not terminate.[8]

According to the Shapiro inequality, 25 is the smallest odd integer n such that there exist x₁, x₂, ..., x_n such that

${\displaystyle \sum _{i=1}^{n}{\frac {x_{i}}{x_{i+1}+x_{i+2}}}<{\frac {n}{2}}}$

where x_{n + 1} = x₁, x_{n + 2} = x₂.

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.
