In mathematics

It is a square number, being 52 = 5 × 5. It is one of two two-digit numbers whose square and higher powers of the number also ends in the same last two digits, e.g. 252 = 625, the other is 76. It is the smallest square that is also a sum of two (non-zero) squares: 25 = 32 + 42. Hence it often appears in illustrations of the Pythagorean theorem.

25 is the sum of the single-digit odd natural numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9, the first five odd natural numbers.

25 is a centered octagonal number,[1] a centered square number,[2] and an automorphic number.[3]

25 percent (%) is equal to 1/4.

It is the smallest base 10 Friedman number as it can be expressed by its own digits: 52.[4]

It is also a Cullen number.[5] 25 is the smallest pseudoprime satisfying the congruence 7n = 7 mod n.

25 is the smallest aspiring number — a composite non-sociable number whose aliquot sequence does not terminate.[6]

According to the Shapiro inequality, 25 is the least odd integer n such that there exist x1, x2, ..., x**n such that

where x**n + 1 = x1, x**n + 2 = x2.

Within base 10 one can readily test for divisibility by 25 by seeing if the last two digits of the number match 00, 25, 50 or 75.
