In mathematics

 

The first 22 numbers can be arranged on a graph such that select sums between two numbers in the set yield all primes from 3 to 43. The graph has near-perfect vertical and horizontal reflective symmetry.^[1]

22 is a palindromic number and the eighth semiprime; its proper divisors are 1, 2, and 11.^[2][3] It is the second Smith number, the second Erdős–Woods number, and the fourth large Schröder number.^[4][5][6] It is also a Perrin number, from a sum of 10 and 12.^[7]

22 is the fourth pentagonal number, the third hexagonal pyramidal number, and the third centered heptagonal number.^[8][9][10]

The maximum number of regions into which five intersecting circles divide the plane is 22.^[11] 22 is also the quantity of pieces in a disc that can be created with six straight cuts, which makes 22 the seventh central polygonal number.^[12][13]

${\displaystyle {\frac {22}{7}}}$  is a commonly used approximation of the irrational number π, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, where in particular 22 and 7 are consecutive hexagonal pyramidal numbers. Also,

${\displaystyle {\sqrt[{4}]{\frac {2143}{22}}}=3.141\;592\;65{\color {red}2\;582\;\ldots }}$  from an approximate construction of the squaring of the circle by Srinivasa Ramanujan, correct to eight decimal places.^[14]

Natural logarithms of integers in binary are known to have Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe type formulae for ${\displaystyle \pi }$  for all integers ${\displaystyle n=\{1,2,3,4...,22\}}$ .^[15][16]

22 is the number of partitions of 8, as well as the sum of the totient function over the first eight integers, with φ(n) for 22 returning 10.^[17][18]

22 can read as "two twos", which is the only fixed point of John Conway's look-and-say function. In other words, "22" generates the infinite repeating sequence "22, 22, 22, ..."^[19]

All regular polygons with ${\displaystyle n}$  < ${\displaystyle 22}$  edges can be constructed with an angle trisector, with the exception of the 11-sided hendecagon.^[20]

There is an elementary set of twenty-two single-orbit convex tilings that tessellate two-dimensional space with face-transitive, edge-transitive, and/or vertex-transitive properties: eleven of these are regular and semiregular Archimedean tilings, while the other eleven are their dual Laves tilings. Twenty-two edge-to-edge star polygon tilings exist in the second dimension that incorporate regular convex polygons: eighteen involve specific angles, while four involve angles that are adjustable.^[21] Finally, there are also twenty-two regular complex apeirohedra of the form _p{a}_q{b}_r: eight are self-dual, while fourteen exist as dual polytope pairs; twenty-one belong in ${\displaystyle \mathbb {C} ^{2}}$  while one belongs in ${\displaystyle \mathbb {C} ^{3}}$ .^[22]

There are twenty-two different subgroups that describe full icosahedral symmetry. Three groups are generated by particular inversions, five groups by reflections, and nine groups by rotations, alongside three mixed groups, the pyritohedral group, and the full icosahedral group.

There are 22 finite semiregular polytopes through the eighth dimension, aside from the infinite families of prisms and antiprisms in the third dimension and inclusive of 2 enantiomorphic forms. Defined as vertex-transitive polytopes with regular facets, there are:

• 15 Archimedean semiregular solids in 3-space, which include two chiral forms, one from the snub cube and one from the snub dodecahedron. In other words, from symmetries of 13 distinct semiregular polyhedra, two of which have mirror images.
• 3 semiregular polychora in 4-space: the rectified 5-cell, the rectified 600-cell and the snub 24-cell.
• 4 semiregular polytopes from 5-space through 8-space that are part of the family of k₂₁ polytopes: the demipenteract, 2₂₁, 3₂₁, and 4₂₁; with the final figure representing the root vectors of simple Lie group E₈. The family of k₂₁ polytopes can be extended backward to include the rectified 5-cell and the three-dimensional triangular prism, which is the simplest semiregular polytope.

k₂₂ polytopes are a family of five different polytopes up through the eighth dimension, that include three finite polytopes and two honeycombs. Its root figure is the first proper duoprism, the 3-3 duoprism (-1₂₂), which is made of six triangular prisms. The second figure is the birectified 5-simplex (0₂₂), and the last finite figure is the 6th-dimensional 1₂₂ polytope. 1₂₂ is highly symmetric, whose 72 vertices represent the root vectors of the simple Lie group E₆. 3₂₂ is a paracompact infinite honeycomb that contains 2₂₂ Euclidean honeycomb facets under Coxeter group symmetry ${\displaystyle {\bar {T}}_{7}}$ , with 2₂₂ made of 1₂₂ facets, and so forth. The Coxeter symbol for these figures is of the form k_ij, where each letter represents a length of order-3 branches on a Coxeter–Dynkin diagram with a single ring on the end node of a k-length sequence of branches.

There are twenty-two Coxeter groups in the sixth dimension that generate uniform polytopes: four of these generate uniform non-prismatic figures, while the remaining eighteen generate uniform prisms, duoprisms and triaprisms.

The number 22 appears prominently within sporadic groups. Mathieu group M₂₂ is one of 26 such sporadic finite simple group, defined as the 3-transitive permutation representation on 22 points. It is the monomial of the McLaughlin sporadic group, McL, and the unique index 2 subgroup of the automorphism group of Steiner system S(3,6,22).^[23] Mathieu group M₂₃ contains M₂₂ as a point stabilizer, and has a minimal irreducible complex representation in 22 dimensions, like McL. M₂₃ has two rank 3 actions on 253 points, with 253 equal to the sum of the first 22 non-zero positive integers, or the 22nd triangular number. Both M₂₂ and M₂₃ are maximal subgroups within Mathieu group M₂₄, which works inside the lexicographic generation of Steiner system S(5,8,24) W₂₄, where single elements within 759 octads of 24-element sets occur 253 times throughout its entire set. On the other hand, the Higman–Sims sporadic group HS also has a minimal faithful complex representation in 22 dimensions, and is equal to 100 times the group order of M₂₂, |HS| = 100|M₂₂|. Conway group Co₁ and Fischer group Fi₂₄ both have 22 different conjugacy classes.

The extended binary Golay code ${\displaystyle \mathbb {B} _{24}}$ , which is related to Steiner system W₂₄, is constructed as a vector space of F₂ from the words:^[24]

${\displaystyle c_{j}=e({\overline {\rm {x}}})\cdot {\overline {\rm {x}}}^{j}(j=0,...,22),{\text{ }}}$  and ${\displaystyle {\text{ }}}$ ${\displaystyle c_{23}=\sum _{i=0}^{22}{\overline {\rm {x}}}^{i}+{\overline {\rm {x}}}^{\infty }}$ 

with ${\displaystyle c\in F_{2}}$ , and ${\displaystyle e({\overline {\rm {x}}})}$  the quadratic residue code of the binary Golay code ${\displaystyle \mathbb {B} _{23}}$  (with ${\displaystyle {\overline {\rm {x}}}^{\infty }}$  its parity check). M₂₃ is the automorphism group of ${\displaystyle \mathbb {B} _{23}}$ .

The extended ternary Golay code [12, 6, 6], whose root is the ternary Golay code [11, 6, 5] over F₃, has a complete weight enumerator value equal to:^[25]

${\displaystyle x^{12}+y^{12}+z^{12}+22\left(x^{6}y^{6}+y^{6}z^{6}+z^{6}x^{6}\right)+220\left(x^{6}y^{3}z^{3}+x^{3}y^{6}z^{3}+x^{3}y^{3}z^{6}\right).}$ 

The 22nd unique prime in base ten is notable for having starkly different digits compared to its preceding (and latter) unique primes, as well as for the similarity of its digits to those of the reciprocal of 7 ${\displaystyle (0.{\overline {142857}}).}$  Being 84 digits long with a period length of 294 digits, it is the number:

${\displaystyle 142,857,157,142,857,142,856,999,999,985,714,285,714,285,857,142,857,142,855,714,285,571,428,571,428,572,857,143}$ ^[26]
