Is there a listing of natural numbers with their properties?

416 Views Asked by At

I am looking for a category of natural numbers (about <1000 is enough) with its properties.

Here's some examples :

2 - It is the first prime number.

1729 - It is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways.

Here's some bad examples that I don't focus on :

36 - It is the number that its half is equal to multiplying each digits (3 and 6 in this case).

69 - It is the number which has a sexual meaning.

36 is the bad example because it depends on the base 10.

Is there any site about this?

I don't think "category" is quite what you mean, maybe "catalogue"? Anyway as a printed reference there's David Wells' Dictionary of Curious and Interesting Numbers and online, there are wiki entries for small integers, e.g. 37

Wikipedia article List of numbers links to articles about individual numbers. They have covered all natural numbers up to 1000, and some beyond that range.

I like the subheading of the article:

This is an incomplete list which may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it ...

A site that has some curiosities about natural numbers are http://primes.utm.edu/curios/ but as any site that lists curiosities it will be incomplete but perhaps it satisfies your needs.
