'{{Infobox number | number = 37 | factorization = [[prime number|prime]] | prime = 12th | divisor = 1, 37 }} '''37''' ('''thirty-seven''') is the [[natural number]] following [[36 (number)|36]] and preceding [[38 (number)|38]]. ==In mathematics== Thirty-seven is the 12th [[prime number]], a [[permutable prime]] with [[73 (number)|73]] (which is the 21st prime number). 37 is the fifth [[lucky prime]], the first [[irregular prime]], the third [[unique prime]] and the third [[cuban prime]] of the form :<math> p = \frac{x^3 - y^3}{x - y} \qquad \left(x = y + 1\right). </math> 37 is the smallest prime that is not also a [[supersingular prime (moonshine theory)|supersingular prime]]. It is a [[centered hexagonal number]] and a [[star number]]. 37 and 38 are the first pair of consecutive [[positive integer]]s not divisible by any of their digits. Every positive integer is the sum of at most 37 fifth powers (see [[Waring's problem]]). 37 appears in the [[Padovan sequence]], preceded by the terms 16, 21, and 28 (it is the sum of the first two of these). Since the greatest [[prime factor]] of 37² + 1 = 1370 is 137, which is substantially more than 37 twice, 37 is a [[Størmer number]]. 37 has the property that when its digits are reversed, the resulting number is one less than a multiple of the original number. The only other two digit number in base 10 with this property is 14. 37 is the only two digit number in base 10 with the following property: The difference between the two digits equals the [[square root]] of the difference between the number itself and the [[least common multiple]] of the two digits. ==In science== * The [[atomic number]] of [[rubidium]] * The normal [[human body temperature]] in degrees [[Celsius]] ===Astronomy=== * [[Messier object]] [[Messier 37|M37]], a [[apparent magnitude|magnitude]] 6.0 [[open cluster]] in the [[constellation]] [[Auriga (constellation)|Auriga]] * The [[New General Catalogue]] object [[NGC 37]], a [[spiral galaxy]] in the constellation [[Phoenix (constellation)|Phoenix]] * The [[Saros number]] of the [[solar eclipse]] series which began on -1794 June 25 and ended on -496 August 12.

This honor made him the first manager to have had his number retired by two different teams (the Mets in 1965, the Yankees in 1970). * In the [[National Football League|NFL]]: ** The [[Detroit Lions]], for [[Doak Walker]]. ** The [[San Francisco 49ers]], for [[Jimmy Johnson (cornerback)|Jimmy Johnson]] (not to be confused with [[Jimmy Johnson (American football coach)|the coach of the same name]]). ==In other fields== [[File:Huisnummer Hertog.jpg|thumb|100px|House number in [[Baarle-Hertog|Baarle]] (in its Belgian part)]] '''Thirty-seven''' is: * The number of plays [[William Shakespeare]] is thought to have written (counting ''[[Henry IV, Part 1|Henry IV]]'' as three parts).<ref>{{cite book|first=Adam|last=Spencer|authorlink=Adam Spencer|title=Adam Spencer's Book of Numbers|location=New York|publisher=[[Four Walls Eight Windows]]|year=2004|page=61}}</ref> * The number of the French department [[Indre-et-Loire]] * The number of slots in European [[Roulette]] (numbered 0 to 36, the 00 is not used in European roulette as it is in American roulette) * The number of [[Nat (spirit)|Great Nats]] traditionally worshiped in Burma * Municipal Okrug #37, name of [[Yugo-Zapad Municipal Okrug]] of Krasnoselsky District of [[Saint Petersburg]], Russia, before 2009 * +37 was the [[international dialing code]] of the German Democratic Republic (aka [[East Germany]]).
