How to work it out
- 1
What is special about 306: a Harshad number: divisible by its digit sum 9.
- 2
306 is composite. Its prime factorisation is
- 3
The divisors add up to 702; without 306 itself that is 396, so 306 is abundant (396 is more than 306). Euler's totient φ(306) = 96 numbers up to 306 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 306 add up to 9, and repeating that until one digit is left gives the digital root 9. The Collatz sequence (halve if even, else 3n+1) takes 37 steps to reach 1.
