What is special about 185: a semiprime: 5 × 37, the product of two primes.
- 2
185 is composite. Its prime factorisation is
- 3
The divisors add up to 228; without 185 itself that is 43, so 185 is deficient (43 is less than 185). Euler's totient φ(185) = 144 numbers up to 185 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 185 add up to 14, and repeating that until one digit is left gives the digital root 5. The Collatz sequence (halve if even, else 3n+1) takes 44 steps to reach 1.
