'''7''' ('''seven''') is the [[natural number]] following [[6]] and preceding [[8]]. It is the only [[prime number]] preceding a [[cube (algebra)|cube]].

As an early prime number in the series of [[positive integers]], the number seven has symbolic associations in [[religion]], [[mythology]], [[superstition]] and [[philosophy]]. The seven [[classical planet]]s resulted in seven being the number of days in a week.<ref>[[Carl Benjamin Boyer|Carl B. Boyer]], ''A History of Mathematics'' (1968) p.52, 2nd edn.</ref> 7 is often considered [[luck]]y in [[Western culture]] and is often seen as highly symbolic.
