The number 4 is considered unlucky in several East Asian cultures, particularly in China, Japan, and Korea, because its pronunciation is similar to the word for “death.” In mathematics, 4 is the smallest composite number and the only number that has the same number of letters as its value in English. It is also the first squared prime number (2²) and is significant in geometry, as it forms the basis of squares and rectangles, fundamental shapes in two-dimensional space. Additionally, in many cultural traditions, the number 4 symbolizes stability and structure, as seen in the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) and the four seasons. 0 reply
