117 (one hundred [and] seventeen) is the natural number following 116 and preceding 118.

Contents

In mathematics

117 is the smallest possible length of the longest edge of an integer Heronian tetrahedron (a tetrahedron whose edge lengths, face areas and volume are all integers). Its other edge lengths are 51, 52, 53, 80 and 84. [1]

117 is a pentagonal number. [2] [3]

In other fields

117 can be a substitute for the number 17, which is considered unlucky in Italy. When Renault exported the R17 to Italy, it was renamed R117. [4]

Chinese dragons are usually depicted as having 117 scales, [5] subdivided into 81 associated with yang and 36 associated with yin. [6]

In the Danish language the number 117 (Danish : hundredesytten) is often used as a hyperbolic term to represent an arbitrary but large number. [7]

117 is also the atomic number of tennessine.

In number theory, a pentatope number is a number in the fifth cell of any row of Pascal's triangle starting with the 5-term row 1 4 6 4 1, either from left to right or from right to left. It is named because it represents the number of 3-dimensional unit spheres which can be packed into a pentatope of increasing side lengths.

A centered octahedral number or Haüy octahedral number is a figurate number that counts the points of a three-dimensional integer lattice that lie inside an octahedron centered at the origin. The same numbers are special cases of the Delannoy numbers, which count certain two-dimensional lattice paths. The Haüy octahedral numbers are named after René Just Haüy.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Chamfer (geometry)</span> Geometric operation which truncates the edges of polyhedra

In geometry, chamfering or edge-truncation is a topological operator that modifies one polyhedron into another. It is similar to expansion: it moves the faces apart (outward), and adds a new face between each two adjacent faces; but contrary to expansion, it maintains the original vertices. For a polyhedron, this operation adds a new hexagonal face in place of each original edge.
