224 is a practical number, and a sum of two positive cubes 2 + 6.

According to mathematician and philosopher Alex Bellos, all numbers are interesting and, if any were boring, a candidate for the lowest boring number would be 224 because it was, at the time, "the lowest number not to have its own page on Misplaced Pages".
