210

210 is a composite number, an abundant number, and the product of the first four prime numbers (2, 3, 5, and 7), and thus a primorial. It is also the sum of eight consecutive prime numbers (13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 + 31 + 37 + 41 = 210).

It is a triangular number (following 190 and preceding 231), a pentagonal number (following 176 and preceding 247), and the second smallest to be both triangular and pentagonal (the third is 40755).

It is also a pentatope number, a pronic number, a Harshad number, and an untouchable number. 210 is also the first 71-gonal number, preceding 418.

(Thank God for Wikipedia. I have no idea what any of this means, but I posted it just because.)
