27
Cube of three
Twenty-seven is a cardinal number, the integer between 26 and 28.
It is the cube of 3 and appears frequently in various cultural contexts: there are 27 books in the New Testament, 27 amendments to the U.S.
Constitution, and the "27 Club" refers informally to musicians and artists who died at that age.
In everyday use, 27 functions as a fairly unremarkable number—neither particularly round nor symbolically loaded—though it crops up often enough in addresses, ages, and sports jerseys.
