224 (two hundred twenty-four) is the natural number following 223 and preceding 225.

In mathematics

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

224 is the smallest k with λ(k) = 24, where λ(k) is the Carmichael function.

The mathematician and philosopher Alex Bellos suggested in 2014 that a candidate for the lowest uninteresting number would be 224 because it was, at the time, "the lowest number not to have its own page on Misplaced Pages".
