45 (forty-five) is the natural number following 44 and followed by 46.

In mathematics

Forty-five is a triangular number, and in particular the sum of all the decimal digits (0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 45). It is the smallest triangle number (after 1) which can be written as the sum of two squares. It is also a hexagonal and 16-gonal number.

45 is the sixth positive integer with a prime factorization of the form p²q, with p and q being prime.

Since the greatest prime factor of 45² + 1 = 2026 is 1013, which is much more than 45 twice, 45 is a Størmer number.

In base 10, it is a Kaprekar number and a Harshad number.

45 is the smallest odd number that has more divisors than n+1 (sequence A138171 in the OEIS) and that has a larger sum of divisors than n+1 (sequence A067828 in the OEIS).

45 is conjectured R(5, 5) (sequence A120414 in the OEIS).
