925 is the 22nd Centered Square number because 22² + 21² = 925. I made this graphic to show this fact through the use of color. Look at the center of the centered square. Can you see how the single yellow square and the four small green squares in the center correspond to the same colored squares in the smaller squares? The pattern continues from the inside of the centered square to the outside.
925 is the sum of two squares these THREE ways:
- 22² + 21² = 925
- 27² + 14² = 925
- 30² + 5² = 925
925 is the hypotenuse of SEVEN Pythagorean triples:
- 43-924-925
- 259-888-925
- 285-880-925
- 300-875-925
- 520-765-925
- 533-756-925
- 555-740-925
925 is the 25th pentagonal number because 3((25²) – 25)/2 = 925. The shape in the graphic below of 925 tiny squares may look more like a house, but it is still very much a pentagon.
925 looks interesting in a few other bases:
4141 in BASE 6
1K1 BASE 22 (K is 20 in base 10)
151 BASE 28
PP in BASE 36 (P is 25 in base 10)
- 925 is a composite number.
- Prime factorization: 925 = 5 × 5 × 37, which can be written 925 = 2² × 37
- The exponents in the prime factorization are 2 and 1. Adding one to each and multiplying we get (2 + 1)(1 + 1) = 3 × 2 = 6. Therefore 925 has exactly 6 factors.
- Factors of 925: 1, 5, 25, 37, 185, 925
- Factor pairs: 925 = 1 × 925, 5 × 185, or 25 × 37
- Taking the factor pair with the largest square number factor, we get √925 = (√25)(√37) = 5√37 ≈ 30.41381
