204(two hundred [and] four) is thenatural numberfollowing203and preceding205.

In mathematics[edit]

204 is arefactorable number.[1]204 is asquare pyramidal number:204 balls may be stacked in a pyramid whose base is an 8 × 8 square.[2]Its square, 2042= 41616, is the fourthsquare triangular number.[3]As afigurate number,204 is also anonagonal number[4]and a truncated triangular pyramid number.[5]204 is a member of theMian-Chowla sequence.[6]

There are exactly 204irreduciblequinticpolynomialsover a four-element field,[7]exactly 204 ways to place three non-attackingchess queenson a 5 × 5 board,[8]exactly 204 squares of an infinite chess move that are eight knight's moves from the center,[9]exactly 204 strings of length 11 over a three-letter alphabet with no consecutively-repeated substring,[10]and exactly 204 ways ofimmersingan oriented circle into the oriented plane so that it has four double points.[11]

Both 204 and its square are sums of a pair oftwin primes:204 = 101 + 103 and 2042= 41616 = 20807 + 20809. The only smaller numbers with the same property are 12 and 84.[12]

204 is a sum of all theperfect squaresfrom 1 to 64 (i.e. 12+ 22+ 32+ 42+ 52+ 62+ 72+ 82= 204).
