15

This number is a composite.

+ If n is greater than 15, then there is at least one number between n and 2n which is the product of three different primes. [Sierpinski]

+ The smallest multi-digit integer I such that 4*I+1 and 4*I-1 are both primes. [Russo]

+ There are exactly 15 palindromic primes of length three. [Patterson]

+ 15 is the smallest number which is product of two distinct odd primes. [Capelle]

+ The only known natural number n > 0 such that the sum of the five known Fermat primes raised to the power n is prime. Curiously, it is the product of the first two Fermat primes. [Capelle]

+ π(15) = 1 + 5. [Kumar]

+ The number of supersingular primes, i.e., primes that divide the order of the Monster group (an algebraic construction with 246 * 320 * 59 * 76 * 112 * 133 * 17 * 19 * 23 * 29 * 31 * 41 * 47 * 59 * 71 elements). [Capelle]
