In mathematics
As a number of the form (16807 = 75), it can be applied in Cayley's formula to count the number of trees with seven labeled nodes.[1][2]
The powers of seven, including this one, feature in problem 79 from the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, from ancient Egypt circa 1650 BC. It resembles the modern English riddle As I was going to St Ives, which compounds powers of seven up to kittens, but reaching one more step, hekat (an ancient Egyptian unit of measurement for grain).[3] Another puzzle of the same type, with 16807 knives, occurs in Fibonacci's Liber Abaci.[4]
