It is the only number in the Mersenne sequence whose prime factors are each factors of at least one previous element of the sequence. * a Woodall number i.e. of the form 2nn − 1 with n = 4.[2] * the third Delannoy number.[3] * the sum of the powers of 2 from 0 to 5. * palindromic and a repdigit in bases 2 (1111112), 4 (3334), 8 (778), 20 (3320) and 62 (1162). * a centered octahedral number.[4] * there are 63 posets with 5 unlabeled elements.[5] * a Harshad number. ## In science * The atomic number of europium. ### Astronomy * Messier object M63, a magnitude 8.5 galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici, also known as the Sunflower Galaxy. * The New General Catalogue object NGC 63, a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces ## In other fields Sixty-three is also: * The code for international direct dial calls to the Philippines * The hull number of the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) and the USS Missouri (BB-63) * The number of the French department Puy-de-Dôme * The number of groats in a guinea in British pre-decimal currency * A card game, popular in Carleton County, New Brunswick * The Stoner 63, a machine gun * The number of chromosomes found in the offspring of a donkey and a horse * Class of '63 was a TV movie starring James Brolin (1973) ## In sports * Tom Dempsey of New Orleans Saints, Nov. 8, 1970, Jason Elam of the Denver Broncos, Oct. 25, 1988, Sebastian Janikowski of the Oakland Raiders, Sep. 12, 2011 and David Akers[6] of the San Francisco 49ers, Sept. 9, 2012 had NFL record 63-yard field goals * Michael Jordan scored a record 63 points in a Chicago Bulls–Boston Celtics (double-overtime) NBA playoff game on April 20, 1987 * In U.S. college athletics, schools that are members of NCAA Division I FCS are allowed to provide their football players with athletically-related financial aid equivalent to a total of 63 full athletic scholarships in a given season. * Cricketer Phillip Hughes died during a match whilst on a personal score of 63 runs. ## In religion * There are 63 Tractates in the Mishna, the compilation of Jewish Law. * There are 63 Saints (popularly known as Nayanmars) in South Indian Shaivism, particularly in Tamil Nadu, India . * There are 63 Salakapurusas (great beings) in Jain cosmology. ## References 1. ↑ "Sloane's A100827 : Highly cototient numbers".
