How to work it out
- 1
What is special about 206: a semiprime: 2 × 103, the product of two primes.
- 2
206 is composite. Its prime factorisation is
- 3
The divisors add up to 312; without 206 itself that is 106, so 206 is deficient (106 is less than 206). Euler's totient φ(206) = 102 numbers up to 206 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 206 add up to 8, and repeating that until one digit is left gives the digital root 8. The Collatz sequence (halve if even, else 3n+1) takes 88 steps to reach 1.
