The number 70 (written as seventy in English words) is a natural number following 69 and preceding 71. It holds unique properties across several domains, most notably as the smallest “weird number” in mathematics. Mathematical Properties
Weird Number: It is the smallest natural number classified as a weird number. This means it is abundant (the sum of its proper divisors is greater than 70) but not semiperfect (no subset of those divisors adds up to exactly 70).
Factors: Its proper divisors are 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, and 35. Its prime factorization is 2 × 5 × 7, making it a discrete sphenic number.
Harshad Number: It is divisible by the sum of its digits (7 + 0 = 7). Science & Notation
