132 (one hundred [and] thirty-two) is the natural number following 131 and preceding 133.

In mathematics[]

132 is the sixth Catalan number.^[1] It is a pronic number, the product of 11 and 12. As it has 12 divisors total, 132 is a refactorable number.

If you take the sum of all 2-digit numbers you can make from 132, you get 132: ${\displaystyle 12+13+21+23+31+32=132}$. 132 is the smallest number with this property,^[2] which is shared by 264, 396 and 35964 (see digit-reassembly number).^[3]

But there is no number that, when added to the sum of its own digits, sums to 132, therefore 132 is a self number. 132 is also a Harshad number, divisible by the sum of its base-ten digits.
