49 (forty-nine) is the natural number following 48 and preceding 50. In mathematics Forty-nine is the square of seven. It appears in the Padovan sequence, preceded by the terms 21, 28, 37 (it is the sum of the first two of these). Along with the number that immediately derives from it, 77, the only number under 100 not having its home prime known (). Decimal representation The sum of the digits of the square of 49 (2401) is the square root of 49. 49 is the first square where the digits are squares. In this case, 4 and 9 are squares. Reciprocal The fraction is a repeating decimal with a period of 42: : = (42 digits repeat) There are 42 (note that this number is the period) positive integers that are less than 49 and coprime to 49. Multiplying 020408163265306122448979591836734693877551 by each of these integers results in a cyclic permutation of the original number: *020408163265306122448979591836734693877551 × 2 = 040816326530612244897959183673469387755102 ...

XLIV
44 (forty-four) is the natural number following 43 and preceding 45. In mathematics Forty-four is a repdigit and palindromic number in decimal. It is the fourth happy number, and the fourth octahedral number. Since the greatest prime factor of 442 + 1 = 1937 is 149 and thus more than 44 twice, 44 is a Størmer number. Given Euler's totient function, φ(44) = 20 and φ(69) = 44. 44 is a tribonacci number, preceded by 7, 13, and 24, whose sum it equals. 44 is the number of derangements of 5 items. There are 44 distinct stellations of the truncated cube and truncated octahedron, per Miller's rules. There are forty-four finite simple groups that arise from four general families of such groups: * Two stem from cyclic groups and alternating groups. * Sixteen stem from simple groups of Lie type. * Twenty-six stem from sporadic groups. Sometimes the Tits group is considered a 17th non-strict simple group of Lie type, or a 27th sporadic group, which would yield a total of 45 fi ...
