What's in a number?

What is in a number - any number.  I happened to see the number 752.  What can I learn about this number?  

Properties of the Number 752

  • Because 752 is divisible by 2 ...
    • 752 is an even number
    • 752 has parity 0
    • 752 is not an odd number
  • Because 752 can be factored as 2 x 376 ...
    • 752 is a composite number
    • 752 is not a prime number

The most fascinating is the website www2.stetson.edu's What's Special About This Number?  I scrolled to the bottom and found out that 8208 is a narcissistic number.  I guess I am fascinated by the abundance of complicated words in a sentence about something seemingly simple like a number: 

"752 is the number of conjugacy classes in the automorphism group of the 11 dimensional hypercube."

The internet has resources from so many sources, so I also found entries that go in a very different direction from the above:

Angel Number 752: 752 is your number of reference this month. You have seen it very many times. You have come across this repeating number so much that you have lost count. The divine angels are talking to you. From sunsigns.org

The Number 752 is the holy name of Jesus of Nazareth - from Historical Archive of the Bible Wheel Site - biblewheel.com

    Frosty Red Maples

    There was a lot of frost early yesterday morning so I was able to get some Japanese Maple leaves in the grass.  They look like they are coated with sugar and could decorate a cake. Today is roast turkey, candied yams, giant balloons and American football.

    Niagara's Weather


    How fast things changed.  One week it is beautiful late fall with the autumn leaves in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and within days we are in blowing snow and frost. I could see the clouds changing from the outlook and gazebo at Niagara-on-the-Lake to Southbrook Winery on the Stone Road out of Niagara-on-the-Lake.
