Where the central cell[math]\displaystyle{ \text { } 59 = \tfrac {177}{3}\text { } }[/math] represents the seventeenth prime number,[10] and seventh super-prime;[11] equal to the sum of all prime numbers up to 17, including one: [math]\displaystyle{ 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 = 59. }[/math]
177 is also an arithmetic number, whose [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma_0 }[/math] holds an integer arithmetic mean of [math]\displaystyle{ 60 }[/math] — it is the one hundred and nineteenthindexed member in this sequence,[4] where [math]\displaystyle{ \text { }59 + 60 = 119. }[/math] The first non-trivial60-gonal number is 177.[12][lower-alpha 3]
177 rooted trees with 10 nodes and height at most 3,[15]
177 undirected graphs (not necessarily connected) that have 7 edges and no isolated vertices.[16]
There are 177 ways of re-connecting the (labeled) vertices of a regular octagon into a star polygon that does not use any of the octagon edges.[17]
In other fields

Notes
↑Following the fifty-sixth member 166,[3] whose divisors hold an arithmetic mean of 63,[4] a value equal to the aliquot part of 177.[5] As a semiprime of the form n = p × q for which p and q are distinct prime numbers congruent to 3 mod 4, 177 is the eleventh Blum integer, where the first such integer 21 divides the aliquot part of 177 thrice over.[6]
↑The first three such magic constants of non-trivial magic squares with distinct prime numbers sum to 177 + 120 + 233 = 530 — also the sum between the first three perfect numbers, 6 + 28 + 496[9] — that is one less than thrice 177.
