242 (two hundred [and] forty-two) is the natural number following 241 and preceding 243.
242 is the smallest integer to start a run of four consecutive integers with the same number of divisors.[1][2]
242 is a nontotient since there is no integer with 242 coprimes below it.
242 is a palindrome.
242 is the number of parallelogram polyominoes with 8 cells.[3]
242 is the difference between 355 and 113, two numbers used in an approximation of pi,
(This fraction is slightly larger than , by a factor of around )
