What is the number 42?

The number 42 is an even number that comes just after 41 and right before 43. It is not a prime number because it can be evenly divided by 2, 3, 6, 7, and 14, in addition to 1 and itself. In real life, the number 42 is full of curious references. In American politics, Bill Clinton was the 42nd president of the United States. He served from 1993 to 2001 and focused on economic growth, healthcare reform, and education. In popular culture, 42 is famously known as the “answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything” from the science fiction book The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. In science, 42 is the atomic number of molybdenum, a metal used in steel production and spacecraft parts. In American baseball, number 42 was worn by Jackie Robinson, the first African American player in Major League Baseball. His number was retired across all teams in his honor.
