Happy new year! Seeing as we have entered a new year, I thought I’d do another arbitrary facts blog about the number 2024.
- 2024 is a tetrahedral number
- The year 2024 started on a Monday and it’s a leap year. The last time this happened was in 1996 and the next time will be in 2052.
- 2024 in Roman numerals is MMXXIV
- 2024 will be the year that 7 of the top 10 most populous countries will holding elections, including the United States, Russia, and India
- The sum of 2024’s digits is 8, which is a lucky number in China
- 280 seconds is equal to 33 minutes, 44 seconds so a little but more than the average UK lunch break
- 2024 is a Harshad number
- 2024 is a wasteful number,
since it uses less digits than its factorization
. - 2024 is also an odious number
