This is issue #58. Here’s what makes 58 an interesting number:

• Atomic number of Cerium - symbol Ce and the second element in the Lanthanide series

  • Cerium was named after the asteroid Ceres which was initially considered to be a planet at the time.

• 58 is equal to the sum of the first seven consecutive prime numbers

  • 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 = 58.

• 58 is the international country code for Venezuela

• It’s the product of 2 primes - 2 × 29 - hence a “semi prime”

• It is the fourth Smith number whose sum of its digits is equal to the sum of the digits in its prime factorization (13).

That’s it for this issue.
