In mathematics 78 is:
the dimension of the exceptional Lie group E6 and several related objects.

a Harshad number in bases 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 13 and 14.

77 and 78 form a Ruth-Aaron pair.
Exactly what I’ve been telling everybody.
I figured the Ruth-Aaron numbers would be 3-44 but I’m no baseball expert.
