A group of nine of anything is called an ennead.
In base 10 a number is evenly divisible by nine if and only if its digital root is 9. That is, if you multiply nine by any whole number (except zero), and repeatedly add the digits of the answer until it's just one digit, you will end up with nine.
The origin of the 9 integers can be attributed to the ancient Indian civilization.
Nine, as the highest single-digit number (in base ten), symbolizes completeness in the Bahá'í Faith. In addition, the word Bahá' in the Abjad notation has a value of 9, and a 9-pointed star is used to symbolize the religion.
Nine (九 pinyin jiǔ) is considered a good number in Chinese culture because it sounds the same as the word "longlasting" (久 pinyin jiǔ). The Japanese consider 9 to be unlucky, however, because it sounds similar to the Japanese word for "pain" or "distress" (苦 kunrei ku).
Nine is strongly associated with the Chinese dragon, a symbol of magic and power. There are nine forms of the dragon, it is described in terms of nine attributes, and it has nine children.
In Thai, the word for nine, 'gao', is the same as the verb for 'to develop or progress'.
In urban culture, 'nine' is a slang word for a 9mm pistol or homicide, the latter from the Illinois Criminal Code for homicide.

The number nine? As in 9?
Well...
1) 3x3=9
2) 3+3+3+9
3) 4+5=9
4) 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=9
5) 2+7=9
6) 9 is the square root of 81
7) 9x9=81
8) 9 divided by 1 equals 1
9) 9+9=18
10) if you add the digits together in any multiple of 9 they equal nine..ie. 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99, 108, etc.
11) nine is the highest single digit number.
12) if you have a calculator and you turn it upside down 9 looks like a 'G'.
13) You have major nine openings in your body--two eyes, two nostrils, two ears, one mouth, one genital opening, one anus. That makes nine.
14) Wiccans believe that there are nine sacred trees.
15) September 9/1999 was the last time for one thousand years that there will be four nines in the date. Nine Inch Nails wanted to release an album that day but didn't get it done on time.
16) 9 to the power of nine equals 387420489 (check that I can't count past seven)
