How to work it out
- 1
What is special about 233: a Fibonacci number; the 51st prime number.
- 2
233 is prime, so its only factors are 1 and 233. It is the 51st prime; the next prime is 239 and the one before is 229.
- 3
The divisors add up to 234; without 233 itself that is 1, so 233 is deficient (1 is less than 233). Euler's totient φ(233) = 232 numbers up to 233 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 233 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 83 steps to reach 1.
