The finite cardinal number representing a dozen dozen, or 122, or even twelve squared (and thus the number of sqare inches in a square foot); 144 is also known as a gross. As a natural number it falls between 143 and 145 and is written out as one hundred forty-four. It is the twelfth Fibonacci number, an abundant number, and an interesting number (for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that 144 is the smallest number whose fifth power is a sum of the fifth powers of four smaller numbers: 27, 84, 110, and 133).
