Contents

In English speech, the numbers 90 and 19 are often confused, as sounding very similar. When carefully enunciated, they differ in which syllable is stressed: 19 /naɪnˈtiːn/ vs 90 /ˈnaɪnti/. However, in dates such as 1999, and when contrasting numbers in the teens and when counting, such as 17, 18, 19, the stress shifts to the first syllable: 19 /ˈnaɪntiːn/.

In mathematics

90 is:

  • a unitary perfect number because it is the sum of its unitary divisors (excluding itself).
  • a semiperfect number because it is equal to the sum of a subset of its divisors.
  • a pronic number.
  • a nontotient.
  • a Perrin number, preceded in the sequence by 39, 51, 68.
  • palindromic and a repdigit in bases 14 (6614), 17 (5517), 29 (3329), and 44 (2244).
  • a Harshad number since 90 is divisible by the sum of its base 10 digits.

    • In normal space, the interior angles of a rectangle measure 90 degrees each. Also, in a right triangle, the angle opposing the hypotenuse measures 90 degrees, with the other two angles adding up to 90 for a total of 180 degrees. Thus, an angle measuring 90 degrees is called a right angle.
