from Wikipedia
In mathematics
Eighty-eight is a refactorable number, a primitive semiperfect number and an untouchable number. It is also an octadecagonal number.
Since it is possible to find sequences of 88 consecutive integers such that each inner member member shares a factor with either the first or the last member, 88 is an Erdős–Woods number.
In base 10, it is a palindromic number and a repdigit.

[edit] Cultural significance
[edit] In Asian culture
Eighty-eight (88) symbolizes fortune and good luck since the word 8 sounds similar to the word Fā (发, which implies 发财, or wealth, in Mandarin). The number 8 is considered to be the luckiest number of all in Chinese culture and prices in Chinese supermarkets can often be found containing many 8's, See Numbers in Chinese culture. The Chinese government has even been auctioning auto license plates containing many 8s for tens of thousands of dollars. The 2008 Beijing Olympics opened on 8/8/08 at 8 p.m. [1]
88 is used to mean "bye bye"; Found in Chinese-language chat, text, SMS, IM. 88 is pronounced in Chinese Mandarin language as "ba ba" ("bā bā" to be precise), simulating the sound of the English language farewell "bye bye".
[edit] As a Neo-Nazi symbol
Eighty-eight is used as code among Neo-Nazis to identify each other[1]. H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, so 88 is taken to stand for HH which in turn means Heil Hitler.[2] For example, the number is used in the song "88 rock'n'roll band" by the neo-Nazi group Landser. 14 is used similarly, referring to the so-called "Fourteen Words", often found in combination with 88 (1488, 14/88, etc.). This form of the number has inspired the naming of the groups Column 88, Unit 88 and White Legion 88. It also can refer to the 88 Precepts of the late convicted Order terrorist David Lane.[citation needed]
