36 (number) 36 (number) 36 (thirty-six) is the natural number following 35 and preceding 37. 36 is both the square of six and a triangular number, making it a square triangular number. It is the smallest square triangular number other than one, and it is also the only triangular number other than one whose square root is also a triangular number. It is also a circular number- a square number that ends with the same integer by itself (6×6=36). It is the smallest number "n" with exactly eight solutions to the equation φ("x") = "n". Being the smallest number with exactly nine
Penrose square root law voting, including the Jagiellonian Compromise designed for the Council of the European Union. Penrose square root law In the mathematical theory of games, the Penrose square root law, originally formulated by Lionel Penrose, concerns the distribution of the voting power in a voting body consisting of "N" members. It states that the "a priori" voting power of any voter, measured by the Penrose–Banzhaf index formula_1 scales like formula_2. This result was used to design the Penrose method of for allocating the voting weights of representatives in a decision-making bodies proportional to the square root of the population represented.
