How to work it out
- 1
What is special about 283: a twin prime (281 and 283 are both prime); the 61st prime number.
- 2
283 is prime, so its only factors are 1 and 283. It is the 61st prime; the next prime is 293 and the one before is 281.
- 3
The divisors add up to 284; without 283 itself that is 1, so 283 is deficient (1 is less than 283). Euler's totient φ(283) = 282 numbers up to 283 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 283 add up to 13, and repeating that until one digit is left gives the digital root 4. The Collatz sequence (halve if even, else 3n+1) takes 60 steps to reach 1.
