How to work it out
- 1
2536 has no famous special property in the usual lists (prime, square, cube, triangular, Fibonacci, palindrome, perfect), but it is still a composite number.
- 2
2536 is composite. Its prime factorisation is
- 3
The divisors add up to 4770; without 2536 itself that is 2234, so 2536 is deficient (2234 is less than 2536). Euler's totient φ(2536) = 1264 numbers up to 2536 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 2536 add up to 16, and repeating that until one digit is left gives the digital root 7. The Collatz sequence (halve if even, else 3n+1) takes 40 steps to reach 1.
