[edit] In mathematics

105 is the double factorial of 7. 105 is a triangular number and a 12-gonal number as well as a sphenic number and a Zeisel number. It comes in the middle of the prime quadruplet (101, 103, 107, 109). The only other such odd numbers less than a thousand are 15, 195 and 825. 105 is also a pseudoprime to the prime bases: 13, 29, 41, 43, 71, 83 and 97. The distinct prime factors of 105 add up to 15, and so do the ones of 104, hence the two numbers form a Ruth-Aaron pair under the first definition.

One hundred five is also a number n for which n − 2k is prime, for k < log2(n). (This even works up to k = 8, ignoring the negative sign.)

105 is the sum of the first five square pyramidal numbers.
