64 (number) 64 (number) 64 (sixty-four) is the natural number following 63 and preceding 65. Sixty-four is the square of 8, the cube of 4, and the sixth power of 2. It is the smallest number with exactly seven divisors. It is the lowest positive power of two that is adjacent to neither a Mersenne prime nor a Fermat prime. 64 is the sum of Euler's totient function for the first fourteen integers. It is also a dodecagonal number and a centered triangular number. 64 is also the first whole number that is both a perfect square and a perfect cube. Since
Proof that π is irrational Laczkovich to find a new and simpler proof of the fact that the tangent function has the continued fraction expansion that Lambert had discovered. Laczkovich's result can also be expressed in . In fact, Γ("k")"J"(2"x") = "x""f"("x"). So Laczkovich's result is equivalent to: If "x" ≠ 0 and if "x" is rational, then Proof that π is irrational In the 1760's, Johann Heinrich Lambert proved that the number (pi) is irrational: that is, it cannot be expressed as a fraction "a"/"b", where "a" is an integer and "b" is a non-zero integer. In the 19th century, Charles Hermite found a
