In mathematics

720 is:

• 6! (6 factorial).
• a composite number with 30 divisors, more than any number below, making it the 14th highly composite number. ^[1]
• a highly abundant number. ^[2]
• a Harshad number in every base from binary to decimal.
• the smallest number to be palindromic in 16 bases. ^[3]
• a 241-gonal number.

720 is expressible as the product of consecutive integers in two different ways: 720 = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 and 720 = 8 × 9 × 10. ^[4]

There are 49 solutions to the equation φ(x) = 720, more than any integer below it, making 720 a highly totient number. ^[5]
