What is special about 292: a palindrome: it reads 292 backwards too.
- 2
292 is composite. Its prime factorisation is
- 3
The divisors add up to 518; without 292 itself that is 226, so 292 is deficient (226 is less than 292). Euler's totient φ(292) = 144 numbers up to 292 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 292 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 117 steps to reach 1.
