1701

1701 is an integer that lies between 1700 and 1702. In mathematics, it factors as 3^5 multiplied by 7, making it a composite number. It is an odd number and a Harshad number in base 10, since it is divisible by the sum of its digits (1 + 7 + 0 + 1 = 9; 1701 ÷ 9 = 189).

As a year, 1701 appears in historical contexts of the early 18th century. In England, the Parliament passed the Act of Settlement in 1701, which established succession to the English throne on the Protestant House of Hanover and excluded Catholics from inheriting the crown. The same period saw the early stages of the War of the Spanish Succession, a major European conflict that involved shifts in alliances among England, the Dutch Republic, the Holy Roman Empire, France, and Spain.

In culture and popular usage, 1701 is known to some through the registry NCC-1701, the designation of the fictional starship Enterprise in the Star Trek franchise. The vessel is depicted as a flagship of Starfleet and became an iconic element of mid-20th-century science fiction, influencing subsequent depictions of spacefaring exploration.

In numeral systems, 1701 is written in Roman numerals as MDCCI. This follows from 1000 (M) + 500 (D) + 100 (C) + 100 (C) + 1 (I). The number’s scientific and cultural associations are therefore limited but varied, spanning pure arithmetic, historical events, and popular media.
