It seems that there are more facts here pertaining to 108 and 43200 than there are to 432. Joyous 18:44, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)

Hello User:N1r4v, and welcome to Wikipedia. I'm sorry I had to revert you; please don't take it personally. To address the facts you added:

  1. the number of dimples on a golf ball. According to the linked page, golf balls vary, and there's no standard.
  2. 432*60 years for a full cycle of the Zodiac. Not especially relevant to the number 432, as Joyous mentioned above.
  3. Same for heartbeats, breaths, 3 gross, 4H(3), etc.
  4. The number of questions a four-year-old asks in a day. Please.

I'd like to see this article expand with correct, relevant facts, but I'm afraid these aren't up to snuff. Dbenbenn 23:58, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

By the way, the information that User:N1r4v keeps adding appears to come from [1]. Dbenbenn 04:06, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

These are the mathematical properties of 432 I'm aware of:
  • It is a composite number.
  • 432 is the sum of four consecutive primes: 103 + 107 + 109 + 113,
  • It is a highly totient number
  • It is a Harshad number in base 10
Per WP:1729, only two of these are interesting, and WP:NUM requires at least three of these to justify creating an article for the number. So for these reasons I'm redirecting to 400 (number)#430s. PrimeFan 23:12, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
