252 (two hundred [and] fifty-two) is the natural number following 251 and preceding 253.

252 is the central binomial coefficient ,[1] and is , where is the Ramanujan tau function.[2] 252 is also , where is the function that sums the cubes of the divisors of its argument:[3]

It is a practical number,[4] a refactorable number,[5] and a hexagonal pyramidal number.[6] There are 252 points on the surface of a cuboctahedron of radius five in the fcc lattice,[7] 252 ways of writing the number 4 as a sum of six squares of integers,[8] 252 ways of choosing four squares from a 4×4 chessboard up to reflections and rotations,[9] and 252 ways of placing four pieces on a Connect Four board.[10]
