The first Betti number counts the number of one-dimensional, or circular, holes. A torus has two such independent circular directions: one along the longitude and one along the meridian, resulting in a first Betti number of 2.
Conditions: The object is a torus.; The first Betti number counts 1-dimensional holes.

Betti numbers are a sequence of topological invariants that indicate how many holes of each dimension an object has. For example, the first Betti number counts one-dimensional circular holes, and the second counts two-dimensional holes.
Conditions: Applies to topological spaces, especially simplicial complexes.; Each entry in the sequence corresponds to a different hole dimension.
