531441 is the coolest number in my opinion (and for a good reason).

My challenge: find out what makes it so cool.

you can square root it and also cube root it.

The same thing in common is that you made both numbers up on the spot? :)

Hint:

Consider the digits of 531441 backwards, along with it's prime factors.

Is it bad that I forgot what a prime factor is and had to look up the definition? :( (haven't looked at that stuff since year 7 or so :( )

531,441 = (5+31+44+1)^3 = 81^3
531,441 = (5+3+14+4+1)^4 = 27^4
