69 is a semiprime
Semiprime
In mathematics, a semiprime is a natural number that is the product of two prime numbers. The first few semiprimes are 4, 6, 9, 10, 14, 15, 21, 22, 25, 26, ... ....

. Furthermore, since the two factors of 69 are both Gaussian primes, 69 is a Blum integer
Blum integer
In mathematics, a natural number n is a Blum integer if n = p×q is a semiprime for which p and q are distinct prime numbers congruent to 3 mod 4. That is, p and q must be of the form 4t+3, for some integer t. Primes of this form are referred to as Blum primes. This means that the factors of a Blum...

Adding up the divisors of 1 through 9 gives 69.

Because 69 has an odd number of 1s in its binary representation, it is sometimes called an "odious number." Of note is that 69² (4 761) and 69³ (328 509) together use every decimal digit from 0-9. 69 is equal to 105
105 (number)
105 is the natural number following 104 and preceding 106.-In mathematics:105 is a triangular number, a 12-gonal number and a Zeisel number. It is a sphenic number, and is the product of three consecutive prime numbers. 105 is the double factorial of 7...
