65536 is the
natural number
In mathematics, the natural numbers are the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on, possibly excluding 0. Some start counting with 0, defining the natural numbers as the non-negative integers , while others start with 1, defining them as the positive in ...

65535 and preceding
65537.
65536 is a
power of two:
(2 to the 16th power).
65536 is the smallest number with exactly 17
divisors (but there are smaller numbers with more than 17 divisors; e.g.,
180 has 18 divisors) .
In mathematics
65536 is
, so in
tetration notation 65536 is
42.
When expressed using
Knuth's up-arrow notation, 65536 is
,
which is equal to
,
which is equivalent to
or
.
As
is also equal to 4, or
,
can thus be written as
,
or
, or as the
pentation (hyperoperation notation).
65536 is a
superperfect number – a number such that
σ(σ(''n'')) = 2''n''.

that can ''not'' be represented with 16 bits. Conversely, it is the "first" or smallest positive integer that requires 17 bits.
65536 is the only power of 2 less than 2
31000 that does not contain the digits 1, 2, 4, or 8 in its
decimal representation.
The sum of the
unitary divisors of 65536 is prime (1 + 65536 =
65537, which is prime).
65536 is an
untouchable number.
