14 (fourteen /fɔərˈtiːn/) is the natural number following 13 and preceding 15. In speech, the numbers 14 and 40 are often confused. When carefully enunciated, they differ in which syllable is stressed: 14 /fɔərˈtiːn/ ( listen) vs 40 /ˈfɔrti/. However, in dates such as 1492 or when contrasting numbers in the teens, such as 13, 14, 15, the stress shifts to the first syllable: 14 /ˈfɔərtiːn/.
Fourteen is a composite number, its divisors being 1, 2, 7 and 14.
14 is the 3rd discrete semiprime ( 2 . 7 ) and the 3rd member of the (2.q) discrete semiprime family. The number following 14—15 is itself a discrete semiprime and this is the first such pair of discrete semiprimes. The next example is the pair commencing 21.
The aliquot sum σ(n) of 14 is 10, also a discrete semiprime and this is again the first example of a discrete semiprime having an aliquot sum in the same form. 14 has an aliquot sequence of 6 members ( 14,10,8,7,1,0) 14 is the third composite number in the 7-aliquot tree.
Fourteen is itself the Aliquot sum of two numbers; the discrete semiprime 22, and the square number 196.
