(inherited from collection) - Description:
- "Plato proposes limiting his ideal city to exactly 5,040 landholding families. Why 5,040? It is what mathematicians call a 'highly composite number,' meaning that it can be divided in multiple ways. In fact, no fewer than sixty numbers divide into it, including every number from one to ten." Daniel Tammet, Thinking in Numbers: On Life, Love, Meaning, and Math . New York: Little Brown, ©2012. page 97.
