5

The smallest hypotenuse of the integral Pythagorean triangles.

The smallest integer which is the sum of two distinct squares : 5 = 12 + 22.

The smallest squares containing k 5's are :
25 = 52,   5625 = 752,   55225 = 2352,   555025 = 7452,
505575225 = 224852,   525555625 = 229252,   55255554225 = 2350652
255555525625 = 5055252,   5552545555456 = 23563842.

The squares which begin with 5 and end in 5 are
5625 = 752,   50625 = 2252,   55225 = 2352,   511225 = 7152,   525625 = 7252,...

Every integer n is the sum of 5 nonzero squares unless n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 33.

5 is the third number which is not the sum of a square and a prime (They are 1, 2, 5, 13, ...).

(1 + 2) x (3 + 4 + 5) = 62,  (1 + 2) x (3) x (4 + 5) = 92,  (1) x (2 + 3) x (4) x (5) = 102.

(12) x (22) x (32 + 42) x (52) = 502.

12 + 22 + 32 + 42 + 52 = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10) = 55.

13 + 23 + 33 + 43 + 53 = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5)2.

52 = 32 + 42, the first square which is the sum of 2 squares.
52 is the first square which is the sum of 7 squares in just 2 ways.
52 is the third square which is the sum of 4 squares: 52 = 12 + 22 + 22 +42.
52 is the second square which is the sum of 4 cubs: 52 = 13 + 23 + 23 + 23.

52 is the only square that is 2 less than a cube, 33.

52 = 25, the second square with an increasing sequence of digits.

(52 - 1) = (22 - 1)(32 - 1),   (52 + 3) = (12 + 3)(22 + 3),
(52 - 7) = (32 - 7)(42 - 7).

58 = 390625, 3 + 9 + 06 + 2 + 5 = 52.

4! + 1 = 52,   5! + 1 = 112,   4! + 5! = 122.

15 + 25 + 35 + ... + n5 = n2(n + 1)2(2n2 + 2n - 1),
where nk+2 = 10nk+1 - nk + 4, k = 0,1,2,..., n0 = 1, n1 = 13
Examples: 15 + 25 + 35 + ... + 135 = 10012,   15 + 25 + 35 + ... + 1335 = 9712992.

The sum of five consecutive odd cubes is 352.   13 + 33 + 53 + 73 + 93 = 352

The alternating sum of five consecutive cubes is 92.   53 - 43 + 33 - 23 + 13 = 92

Komachi Fractions: 52 = 172350/6894 = 217350/8694 = 237150/9486,

Komachi equations:
52 = 1 + 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 1 + 2 - 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 - 7 + 8 + 9
  = 1 + 2 * 3 + 4 * 5 + 6 - 7 + 8 - 9, and more 255 equations,
52 = 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 = 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 - 4 - 3 * 2 * 1
  = 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 - 4 * 3 + 2 * 1, and more 277 equations,
52 = 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 - 5 + 4 + 3 * 2 - 10 = 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 - 5 + 4 * 3 - 2 - 10
  = 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 * 2 + 10, and more 189 equations,
52 = 12 + 22 + 32 + 42 + 52 + 62 - 72 + 82 - 92 = 12 - 22 - 32 + 42 + 52 - 62 + 72 + 82 - 92
  = 12 * 22 * 32 - 42 - 52 - 62 + 72 - 82 + 92, and more 8 equations,
52 = 92 - 82 / 72 * 62 - 52 + 42 + 32 / 212 = 92 + 82 - 72 - 62 - 52 - 42 + 32 - 22 + 12
  = 92 - 82 + 72 + 62 - 52 - 42 - 32 * 22 * 12, and more 10 equations,
52 = - 92 + 82 - 72 - 62 - 52 + 42 + 32 * 22 + 102 = - 92 + 82 - 72 + 62 - 52 + 42 - 32 * 22 + 102.
