14 (fourteen) is a natural number following 13 and preceding 15.

In relation to the word "four" (4), 14 is spelled "fourteen".

In mathematics

Fourteen is the seventh composite number. It is the lowest even for which the Euler totient has no solution, making it the first even nontotient.[1]

It is specifically, the third distinct semiprime,[2] being the third of the form , where is a higher prime.

It has an aliquot sum of 8, within an aliquot sequence of two composite numbers (14, 8, 7, 1, 0) in the prime 7-aliquot tree.

14 is the first member of the first cluster of two discrete semiprimes (14, 15) the next such cluster is (21, 22).

14 is also the third Companion Pell number, and the fourth Catalan number.[3][4]

According to the Shapiro inequality, 14 is the least number such that there exist , , , where:[5]

There are fourteen polygons that can fill a plane-vertex tiling, where five polygons tile the plane uniformly, and nine others only tile the plane alongside irregular polygons.[6][7]

Several distinguished polyhedra in three dimensions contain fourteen faces or vertices as facets:

A regular tetrahedron cell, the simplest uniform polyhedron and Platonic solid, is made up of a total of 14 elements: 4 edges, 6 vertices, and 4 faces.

  • Szilassi's polyhedron and the tetrahedron are the only two known polyhedra where each face shares an edge with each other face, while Császár's polyhedron and the tetrahedron are the only two known polyhedra with a continuous manifold boundary that do not contain any diagonals.
  • Two tetrahedra that are joined by a common edge whose four adjacent and opposite faces are replaced with two specific seven-faced crinkles will create a new flexible polyhedron, with a total of 14 possible clashes where faces can meet.[13]pp.10-11,14 This is the second simplest known triangular flexible polyhedron, after Steffen's polyhedron.[13]p.16 If three tetrahedra are joined at two separate opposing edges and made into a single flexible polyhedron, called a 2-dof flexible polyhedron, each hinge will only have a total range of motion of 14 degrees.[13]p.139

14 is also the root (non-unitary) trivial stella octangula number, where two self-dual tetrahedra are represented through figurate numbers, while also being the first non-trivial square pyramidal number (after 5);[14][15] the simplest of the ninety-two Johnson solids is the square pyramid [lower-alpha 1]

There are a total of fourteen semi-regular polyhedra, when the pseudorhombicuboctahedron is included as a non-vertex transitive Archimedean solid (a lower class of polyhedra that follow the five Platonic solids).[16][17][lower-alpha 2]

There are fourteen possible Bravais lattices that fill three-dimensional space.[18]

The fundamental domain of the Klein quartic is a regular hyperbolic 14-sided tetradecagon, with an area of .

The Klein quartic is a compact Riemann surface of genus 3 that has the largest possible automorphism group order of its kind (of order 168) whose fundamental domain is a regular hyperbolic 14-sided tetradecagon, with an area of by the Gauss-Bonnet theorem.

The exceptional Lie algebra G2 is the simplest of five such algebras, with a minimal faithful representation in fourteen dimensions. It is the automorphism group of the octonions , and holds a compact form homeomorphic to the zero divisors with entries of unit norm in the sedenions, .[19][20]

A set of real numbers to which it is applied closure and complement operations in any possible sequence generates 14 distinct sets.[21] This holds even if the reals are replaced by a more general topological space; see Kuratowski's closure-complement problem.

The floor of the imaginary part of the first non-trivial zero in the Riemann zeta function is ,[22] in equivalence with its nearest integer value,[23] from an approximation of [24][25]

Mythology

The number of pieces the body of Osiris was torn into by his fratricidal brother Set.

The number of sacrificial victims of the Minotaur.

The number 14 was regarded as connected to Šumugan and Nergal.[27]

Age 14

  • 14 is the earliest age that the emancipation of minors can occur in the U.S.
  • Minimum age a person can purchase, rent, or buy tickets to a 14A rated movie in Canada without an adult. Ratings are provincial, so ratings may vary. A movie can be 14A in one or some provinces and PG in other provinces. A movie can also be rated 14A in one or some provinces and 18A in other provinces. Quebec has a different rating system for films.
  • Youngest age in Canada a person can watch a 14+ rated show without consent from a legal guardian.
  • The U.S. TV Parental Guidelines has a rating called "TV-14" which strongly recommends parental guidance for children under the age of fourteen watching the program.
  • Minimum age at which one can view, rent, purchase, or buy tickets to an 18A rated movie with an accompanying adult in the Canadian provinces of the Maritimes and Manitoba.
  • Minimum age at which one can work in many U.S. states. Parental consent may be required, depending on the state.
  • Minimum age at which one can drive a vehicle in the U.S. with a driver's license (with the supervision of an adult over 18 years of age, and with a valid, unmarked driver's license, and at least 365 days of experience driving an actual automobile)
  • The minimum age limit to drive a 50cc motorbike in Italy.
  • The most common age of criminal responsibility in Europe.[28]
  • In some countries, it is the age of sexual consent.

In sports

In white supremacy

White supremacists use the number 14 as a reference to the Fourteen Words coined by David Lane, a prominent white supremacist.[29]

This number is often associated with the number 88 (e.g. 14/88, 14-88, or 1488) that is an abbreviation for the Nazi salute Heil Hitler.[30]

Notes

  1. Furthermore, the square pyramid can be attached to uniform and non-uniform polyhedra (such as other Johnson solids) to generate fourteen other Johnson solids: J8, J10, J15, J17, J49, J50, J51, J52, J53, J54, J55, J56, J57, and J87.
  2. Where the tetrahedron — which is self-dual, inscribable inside all other Platonic solids, and vice-versa — contains fourteen elements, there exist thirteen uniform polyhedra that contain fourteen faces (U09, U76i, U08, U77c, U07), vertices (U76d, U77d, U78b, U78c, U79b, U79c, U80b) or edges (U19).
