| '''666''' (''six hundred sixty-six'') is the [[natural number]] following [[665 (number)|665]] and preceding [[667 (number)|667]]. | |
| | |
| == In mathematics ==
| |
| <math>666</math> is the sum of the first <math>36</math> [[natural numbers]] (i.e. <math> 1 + 2 + 3+ ... + 34 + 35 + 36 = 666</math>), and thus it is a [[triangular number]]. Notice that <math>36=15+21</math>; <math>15</math> and <math>21</math> are also triangular numbers; and <math>15^2+21^2=225+441=666.</math> (In addition: the sum of the 15th triangular number (120) and the 21st triangular number (231) is the 26th triangular number (351).)
| |
| | |
| <math>666</math> is part of a [[Pythagorean quadruple]] <math>(320,410,416,666)</math>, since <math>320^2+410^2+416^2=102,400 + 168,100 + 173,056 = 442,556 = 666^2</math>.
| |
| | |
| Since [[36 (number)|36]] is both [[square number|square]] and [[triangular numbers|triangular]], 666 is the sixth number of the form <math>n^2(n^2+1)/2</math> {{OEIS|id=A037270}} and the eighth number of the form <math>n(n+1)(n^2+n+2)/8</math> (doubly triangular numbers) {{OEIS|id=A002817}}.
| |
| | |
| The number of [[prime numbers]] up to 666 is 121, which is the square of 11, which is the number of [[prime numbers]] up to 36. | |
| | |
| 666 is an [[abundant number]].
| |
| | |
| The [[harmonic mean]] of the [[numerical digit|decimal digits]] of 666 is (trivially – all [[repdigit]] natural numbers have this property) an [[integer]]: 3/(1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6) = 6, making 666 the 54th number with this property.
| |
| | |
| In [[radix|base 10]], 666 is a [[repdigit]] (and therefore a [[palindromic number]]) and a [[Smith number]]. A [[prime reciprocal magic square]] based on 1/149 in base 10 has a magic total of 666.
| |
| | |
| The [[Roman numeral]] for 666, DCLXVI, has exactly one occurrence of all symbols whose value is less than 1000 in decreasing order (D=500, C=100, L=50, X=10, V=5, I=1).
| |
| | |
| (60 and 360 were used as bases in [[Babylonian mathematics]], as in the degrees of a circle; 360=10x36 and 666 is the sum of the numbers from 1 to 36.)
| |
| | |
| 666 is 1010011010 in the [[binary numeral system]] which is the same as its [[one's complement]] in reverse digit order.
| |
| | |
| 666 is a member of the indices of prime [[Padovan sequence|Padovan numbers]]: 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 14, 19, 30, 37, 84, 128, 469, 666, 1262, 1573, 2003, 2210, ... {{OEIS|id=A112882}}.
| |
| | |
| The sum of the squares of the first seven prime numbers: 2² + 3² + 5² + 7² + 11² + 13² + 17² = 666.

| [[Image:DVinfernoLuciferKingOfHell m.jpg|thumb|right|222px|666 is often associated with the [[Devil]].]]
| |
| {{Main|Number of the Beast}}
| |
| In the [[Textus Receptus]] manuscripts of the [[New Testament]], the [[Book of Revelation]] ({{bibleverse-nb||Revelation|13:17-18|}}) cryptically asserts 666 to be "the number of a man," associated with [[the beast (Revelation)|the beast]], an antagonistic creature that appears briefly about two-thirds into the apocalyptic vision. Some manuscripts of the original Greek use the symbols χξϛ [[chi (letter)|chi]] [[xi (letter)|xi]] [[Stigma (letter)|stigma]] (or ϝ [[digamma]]), while other manuscripts spell out the number in words.
| |
| | |
| In modern popular culture, 666 has become one of the most widely recognized symbols for the [[Antichrist]] or, alternatively, the [[devil in Christianity|Devil]]. The number 666 is reportedly used to invoke Satan. Earnest references to the number occur both among [[apocalypticism|apocalypticist]] [[Christian]] groups and in explicitly anti-Christian subcultures.
| |
| References in contemporary Western art or literature are, more likely than not, intentional references to ''the Beast'' symbolism. Such popular references are therefore too numerous to list.
| |
| | |
| It is not uncommon to see the symbolic role of the ''integer'' 666 transferred to the ''digit sequence'' 6-6-6. Some people take the Satanic associations of 666 so seriously that they actively avoid things related to 666 or the digits 6-6-6. This is known as [[hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia]].
| |
| | |
| In some early biblical manuscripts, the number is cited as [[616 (number)#The Number of the Beast|616]].

| === Other occurrences ===
| |
| * In the [[Bible]], 666 is the number of talents of gold [[Solomon]] collected each year (see {{bibleverse|1|Kings|10:14}}, {{bibleverse|2|Chronicles|9:13}}).
| |
| * In the Bible, 666 is the number of [[Adonikam]]'s descendants who return to [[Jerusalem]] and [[Judea|Judah]] from the [[Babylonian captivity|Babylonian]] exile (see {{bibleverse||Ezra|2:13}}).
| |
| * In the Bible, there may be a latent reference to 666 in the name of the great sixth-century BC king of Babylon. Commonly spelled ''Nebuchadnezzar'', transliterating from the book of Daniel, the name is ''Nebuchadrezzar'' or ''Nebuchadrezzur'' in the book of Jeremiah (see Jeremiah 49:28–30). The number of each name can be calculated, since Hebrew letters double as numbers (see [[Hebrew numerals]]). ''Nebuchadrezzar'' is 663, and ''Nebuchadrezzur'', 669. Midway between the two variants is 666. If the mysteries of Jeremiah are to be related to those of Revelation, Nebuchadrezzar, who came (though bidden by God) to crush God’s people, may prefigure the end-times beast.<ref>Schwartz, Erich D.

| |
| * Using the same system in Hebrew of generating a number from the letters of a name, [[Number of the beast#Neron Caesar|Neron Caesar]] written in Hebrew produces the number 666. Thus in the Bible, 666 may have been a coded reference to [[Nero]] the Roman Emperor from 55 to 68 CE.
| |
