In mathematics

154 is a nonagonal number.[1] Its factorization makes 154 a sphenic number

There is no integer with exactly 154 coprimes below it, making 154 a noncototient, nor is there, in base 10, any integer that added up to its own digits yields 154, making 154 a self number

154 is the sum of the first six factorials, if one starts with [math]\displaystyle{ 0! }[/math] and assumes that [math]\displaystyle{ 0!=1 }[/math].

With just 17 cuts, a pancake can be cut up into 154 pieces (Lazy caterer's sequence).[2]
