In mathematics edit

171 is a triangular number[1] and a Jacobsthal number.[2]

There are 171 transitive relations on three labeled elements,[3] and 171 combinatorially distinct ways of subdividing a cuboid by flat cuts into a mesh of tetrahedra, without adding extra vertices.[4]

The diagonals of a regular decagon meet at 171 points, including both crossings and the vertices of the decagon.[5]

There are 171 faces and edges in the 57-cell, an abstract 4-polytope with hemi-dodecahedral cells that is its own dual polytope.[6]

Within moonshine theory of sporadic groups, the friendly giant   is defined as having cyclic groups  ⟩ that are linked with the function,

   where   is the character of   at  .

This generates 171 moonshine groups within   associated with   that are principal moduli for different genus zero congruence groups commensurable with the projective linear group  .[7]
