153 (number)

One hundred fifty-three is the natural number following one hundred fifty-two and preceding one hundred fifty-four. As a triangular number, it is the sum of the first 17 integers, and also the sum of the first five factorials. (It's also a hexagonal number).

Evagrius Ponticus considered 153 to represent a harmonization of contrasts, since 153 = 100 + 28 + 25, with 100 representing a square, 28 a triangle and 25 a circle.
