80 (eighty) is the natural number following 79 and preceding 81.

In mathematics

80 is:

• the sum of Euler's totient function φ(x) over the first sixteen integers.
• a semiperfect number, since adding up some subsets of its divisors (e.g., 1, 4, 5, 10, 20 and 40) gives 80.^[1]
• a ménage number.^[2]
• palindromic in bases 3 (2222₃), 6 (212₆), 9 (88₉), 15 (55₁₅), 19 (44₁₉) and 39 (22₃₉).
• a repdigit in bases 3, 9, 15, 19 and 39.
• the sum of the first 4 twin prime pairs ((3 + 5) + (5 + 7) + (11 + 13) + (17 + 19)).

The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.^[3][4]

Every solvable configuration of the 15 puzzle can be solved in no more than 80 single-tile moves.^[5]
