128 is the seventh power of 2. It is the largest number which cannot be expressed as the sum of any number of distinct squares.[1][2] However, it is divisible by the total number of its divisors, making it a refactorable number.[3]

The sum of Euler's totient function φ(x) over the first twenty integers is 128.[4]

128 can be expressed by a combination of its digits with mathematical operators, thus 128 = 28 − 1, making it a Friedman number in base 10.[5]
