36 is also the eighth refactorable number, as it has exactly nine positive divisors, and 9 is one of them;[3] in fact, it is the smallest positive integer with at least nine divisors, which leads 36 to be the 7th highly composite number.
Adding up some subsets of its divisors (e.g., 6, 12, and 18) gives 36; hence, it is also the eighth semiperfect number.
36 is the number of degrees in the interior angle of each tip of a regular pentagram.
