Overview

500 (five hundred) is the natural number following 499 and preceding 501.

Mathematical properties

500 = 2 2 × 5 3 . It is an Achilles number, meaning that it is divisible by the squares of its prime factors (i.e. 4 and 25) but is not a power itself, and a Harshad number, meaning it is divisible by the sum of its digits. It is the number of planar partitions of 10.

Other fields
