132 (number)

132 is the natural number following 131 and preceding 133.

In mathematics

If you take the sum of all 2-digit numbers you can make from 132, you get 132: $12\; +\; 13\; +\; 21\; +\; 23\; +\; 31\; +\; 32\; =\; 132$. 132 is the smallest number with this property.

But there is no number that, when added up to its own digits, adds up to 132, making it a self number. However, 132 is a Harshad number, divisible by the sum of its base 10 digits, as well as a Zuckerman number, divisible by the product of its base 10 digits.
