How to work it out
- 1
What is special about 205: a semiprime: 5 × 41, the product of two primes.
- 2
205 is composite. Its prime factorisation is
- 3
The divisors add up to 252; without 205 itself that is 47, so 205 is deficient (47 is less than 205). Euler's totient φ(205) = 160 numbers up to 205 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 205 add up to 7, and repeating that until one digit is left gives the digital root 7. The Collatz sequence (halve if even, else 3n+1) takes 26 steps to reach 1.
