An evil number is one in which the initial decimal digits of the fractional components amount to 666. (Pegg and Lomont 2004).
However, the term “evil” can also refer to nonnegative integers with an even number of 1s in their binary expansions, such as 0, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 17, 18, 20, and so on (OEIS A001969), as shown in the binary plot above. Non-evil numbers are referred to be odious numbers.
Returning to Pegg’s definition of evil, Keith pointed out that is evil, and I. Honig (pers. comm., May 9, 2004) pointed out that the golden ratio is also evil. The table below contains a list of some of the most prevalent wicked numbers (Pegg and Lomont 2004).

What number is the most heinous?
1,000,000,000,000,066,600,000,000,000,001 is the precise number. If you don’t see it right away, this so-called hellish number consists of a one followed by 13 zeroes, the dreaded Beast’s number (666), followed by another 13 zeroes, and a trailing one.
What is the evil number?
666 is a striking number in Christian theology that sends shivers down many people’s spines. Because of Revelation 13:18, the number is regarded as wicked. The King James Bible says it this way: “This is where wisdom can be found. Let him who has knowledge count the beast’s number, for it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred and threescore and six.”
The beast in question has seven heads, which will come as no surprise to any math-inclined student of Revelation.
The number one is considered a neutral number, although it also symbolizes being single, like in Singles’ Day (a special day for those who are not in a relationship), which is observed on November 11th. Because it goes against the symbol of partnership, single items are avoided in dates and gifts associated to partnerships and weddings.
The number two has a positive value. “Good things come in pairs,” says a popular Chinese saying. When buying objects for the home, for example, people frequently aim to buy a pair for the sake of balance and meaning. The word “2” in Cantonese also sounds like the word “easy,” as in something you get with little effort. However, because this interpretation also holds true in negative instances, many avoid the number 2 to avoid experiencing another unfortunate incident.
In partnerships, the number three is considered unlucky. The number three can sound like the word “apart” in Mandarin, so it’s bad luck if it’s about weddings or romance in general. Aside from instances involving relationships, however, the 3 is regarded as neutral or even good.
In the Western world, the number 4 is considered unlucky, as is the number 13. The number 4 sounds like “death” when uttered in Mandarin. Because the number has so many bad connotations in China, most Chinese people avoid it.
The number five is thought to be a negative number. Because the number 5 can sound like “nothing” or “nonexistent” in Mandarin, it is not a popular choice for dating.
The number six is considered to be a lucky number. It symbolizes a smooth path or being in good “flow.” When a person (or a company) wants to be more successful and create greater harmony in the workplace, they look for methods to incorporate the number 6 into the work environment or crucial dates.
When it comes to relationships, the number 7 is thought to be a bad number. Weddings, for example, are rarely held in July, the seventh month, because it is the Ghost Month. People may not prefer to start things around this time of year because of the association with death, which can signify the end rather than the beginning of things.
In Chinese numerology, the number 8 is a very lucky number. It’s the closest approximation to the “lucky number 7” in the West. It is a symbol of abundance and completion. Because of the double eights, but also because of its visual closeness to the sign for double happiness:, the number 88 is particularly prominent in Chinese culture.
The number 9 is considered to be a lucky number. Things are usually grouped in nines in art because it is such a powerful symbol. Emperors’ robes were embroidered with nine dragons to symbolise a long-lasting dominion. The number nine denotes completion and eternity.

What does the number 777 mean?
The sign of receiving Divine Guidance is the highly spiritual Angle Number 777. That means it’s time for you to be rewarded for your achievements. Angel numbers can have a variety of meanings.

Why is 43 such a bad number?
Combinations of the numbers 4 and 9, such as 49 or 94, are likewise considered unlucky by the Chinese.
Number 43 is avoided by the Japanese because it sounds very similar to the noises associated with the word “stillbirth.”
They also regard the number 24 to be hazardous, as it has a similar significance to the number 43.
