17 (number)

17 is the natural number following 16 and preceding 18. It is prime. In spoken English, the numbers 17 and 70 are sometimes confused because they sound similar. When carefully enunciated, they differ in which syllable is stressed: 17 /sɛvɨnˈtiːn/ vs 70 /ˈsɛvɨnti/. However, in dates such as 1789 or when contrasting numbers in the teens, such as 16, 17, 18, the stress shifts to the first syllable: 17 /ˈsɛvɨntiːn/. The number 17 has wide significance in pure mathematics, as well as in applied sciences, law, music, religion, sports, and other cultural phenomena.

The first definition of seventeen in the dictionary is a numeral, 17, XVII, etc, representing this number. Other definition of seventeen is the amount or quantity that is seven more than ten. Seventeen is also something represented by, representing, or consisting of 17 units.
