86 (eighty-six) is the natural number following 85 and preceding 87.

In mathematics

86 is:

It appears in the Padovan sequence, preceded by the terms 37, 49, 65 (it is the sum of the first two of these).[6]

The aliquot sum of 86 is 46 within the aliquot sequence (86,46,26,16,15,9,4,3,1,0) 86 being the 17th composite number in the 3-aliquot tree.

It is conjectured that 86 is the largest n for which the decimal expansion of 2n contains no 0.[7]

86 = (8 × 6 = 48) + (4 × 8 = 32) + (3 × 2 = 6). That is, 86 is equal to the sum of the numbers formed in calculating its multiplicative persistence.

Cultural references

  • In the 1947 song "Boogie Woogie Blue Plate" by Louis Jordan, one line is, "86 on the cherry pies."
  • In the 1950s sci-fi film Forbidden Planet, paragraph 86a details the civilian evacuation procedure.
  • In the 1980s musical Little Shop of Horrors, Audrey II asks Seymour to "eighty-six" people so she can feed on their blood.
  • Also in 1980,the medication "mifepristone" was developed in France by the pharmaceutical company Roussel-Uclaf. It can be used to induce an early abortion. It is commonly known as RU-486, where "RU" stands for the initials of the company, and "486" is an arbitrary laboratory number. However, some commentators have suggested that RU-486 really means "aRe yoU FOR getting rid of" where "86" is an English slang term that means "throw out" or "get rid of."
