How to work it out
- 1
What is special about 303: a palindrome: it reads 303 backwards too; a semiprime: 3 × 101, the product of two primes.
- 2
303 is composite. Its prime factorisation is
- 3
The divisors add up to 408; without 303 itself that is 105, so 303 is deficient (105 is less than 303). Euler's totient φ(303) = 200 numbers up to 303 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 303 add up to 6, and repeating that until one digit is left gives the digital root 6. The Collatz sequence (halve if even, else 3n+1) takes 42 steps to reach 1.
