Not sure what you want about 555. Here are a few quick angles you might be after, and I can go deeper on any:

• Mathematics (number properties)

  • 555 = 3 × 5 × 37
  • Divisors: 1, 3, 5, 15, 37, 111, 185, 555
  • Sum of digits = 15, so divisible by 3 and 5 (but not by 9)
  • In other bases: binary 1000101011, hex 0x22B, Roman numeral DLV
  • It’s a repdigit (three identical digits) in base 10

• Applications or trivia

  • In Thai internet slang, "555" stands for laughter (because 5 in Thai is “ha”)

If you’re studying for an exam, tell me the subject and the kind of help you want (e.g., factoring, divisors, base conversions, or a couple of practice problems). I can tailor a quick mini-problem set or walk you through the steps.
