148 (one hundred [and] forty-eight) is the natural number following 147 and before 149.

In mathematics

[edit]

148 is the second number to be both a heptagonal number and a centered heptagonal number (the first is 1).[1] It is the twelfth member of the Mian–Chowla sequence, the lexicographically smallest sequence of distinct positive integers with distinct pairwise sums.[2]

There are 148 perfect graphs with six vertices,[3] and 148 ways of partitioning four people into subsets, ordering the subsets, and selecting a leader for each subset.[4]

In other fields

[edit]

In the Book of Nehemiah 7:44 there are 148 singers, sons of Asaph, at the census of men of Israel upon return from exile. This differs from Ezra 2:41, where the number is given as 128.[5]

Dunbar's number is a theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable interpersonal relationships. Dunbar predicted a "mean group size" of 148,[6] but this is commonly rounded to 150.
