What is the number 20?
The number 20 is an even number that comes just after 19 and right before 21. It is not a prime number because it can be evenly divided by 2, 4, 5, and 10, in addition to 1 and itself. In American politics, James A. Garfield was the 20th president of the United States. He served in 1881 but was tragically assassinated just months into his presidency. In mathematics, 20 is part of the tetrahedral number sequence, meaning it can form a pyramid with a triangular base using stacked spheres. In timekeeping, 20 minutes is one-third of an hour, often used as a short, manageable period for breaks or tasks.
