In mathematics
- Fifty-three is the 16th prime number. It is also an Eisenstein prime, and a Sophie Germain prime.[1]
- The sum of the first 53 primes is 5830, which is divisible by 53, a property shared by few other numbers.[2][3]
- 53 written in hexadecimal is 35, that is, the same characters used in the decimal representation, but reversed. Four additional multiples of 53 share this property: 371 = 17316, 5141 = 141516, 99481 = 1849916, and 8520280 = 082025816. Apart from the trivial case of single-digit decimals, no other number has this property.[4]
- 53 cannot be expressed as the sum of any integer and its base-10 digits, making 53 a self number.[5]
- 53 is the smallest prime number that does not divide the order of any sporadic group.
