104 (one hundred [and] four) is the natural number following 103 and preceding 105.

In mathematics

104 forms the fifth Ruth-Aaron pair with 105, since the distinct prime factors of 104 (2 and 13) and 105 (3, 5, and 7) both add up to 15.[1] Also, the sum of the divisors of 104 aside from unitary divisors, is 105. With eight total divisors where 8 is the fourth largest, 104 is the seventeenth refactorable number.[2] 104 is also the twenty-fifth primitive semiperfect number.[3]

The sum of all its divisors is σ(104) = 210, which is the sum of the first twenty nonzero integers,[4] as well as the product of the first four prime numbers (2 × 3 × 5 × 7).[5]

Its Euler totient, or the number of integers relatively prime with 104, is 48.[6] This value is also equal to the totient of its sum of divisors, φ(104) = φ(σ(104)).[7]

The smallest known 4-regular matchstick graph has 104 edges and 52 vertices, where four unit line segments intersect at every vertex.[8]

A row of four adjacent congruent rectangles can be divided into a maximum of 104 regions, when extending diagonals of all possible rectangles.[9]

Regarding the second largest sporadic group [math]\displaystyle{ \mathbb {B} }[/math], its McKay–Thompson series representative of a principal modular function is [math]\displaystyle{ T_{2A}(\tau) }[/math], with constant term [math]\displaystyle{ a(0) = 104 }[/math]:[10]

[math]\displaystyle{ j_{2A}(\tau) = T_{2A}(\tau)+104 = \frac{1}{q} + 104 + 4372q + 96256q^2 + \cdots }[/math]

The Tits group [math]\displaystyle{ \mathbb {T} }[/math], which is the only finite simple group to classify as either a non-strict group of Lie type or sporadic group, holds a minimal faithful complex representation in 104 dimensions.[11] This is twice the dimensional representation of exceptional Lie algebra [math]\displaystyle{ \mathfrak{f}_4 }[/math] in 52 dimensions, whose associated lattice structure [math]\displaystyle{ \mathrm {F_{4}} }[/math] forms the ring of Hurwitz quaternions that is represented by the vertices of the 24-cell — with this regular 4-polytope one of 104 total four-dimensional uniform polychora, without taking into account the infinite families of uniform antiprismatic prisms and duoprisms.

In other fields

104 is also:

  • The atomic number of rutherfordium.
  • The number of Corinthian columns in the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the largest temple ever built in Greece.
  • The number of Symphonies written by Joseph Haydn upon which numbers are agreed (though in fact, he wrote two more: see list of symphonies by Joseph Haydn).
