Comment Could use some citations, I don't think one number is better than another. Oaktree b (talk) 11:51, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NUMBER#Integers. The article satisfies criterion 1 by describing (more than) three unrelated interesting mathematical properties, and criterion 3 by appearing in What's Special About This Number?. Certes (talk) 13:22, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Needs sourcing but WP:DINC. There are plenty of interesting and sourceable mathematical properties for this number, starting with it being superfactorial, as well as some mysticism coming from its high number of factors. See e.g. Potter, Robert D. (February 12, 1938), "Building blocks of life ruled by the number 288: This number and its multiples found everywhere in groupings of amino acids to form proteins", The Science News-Letter, 33 (7): 99–100, doi:10.2307/3914385, JSTOR 3914385. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:23, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
