Since it is possible to find sequences of 46+1 consecutive integers such that each inner member shares a factor with either the first or the last member, 46 is an Erdős–Woods number.[7]

The friendly giant , the largest of twenty-six sporadic groups, holds a total of forty-six maximal subgroups.[a]
