How to work it out
- 1
3856 has no famous special property in the usual lists (prime, square, cube, triangular, Fibonacci, palindrome, perfect), but it is still a composite number.
- 2
3856 is composite. Its prime factorisation is
- 3
The divisors add up to 7502; without 3856 itself that is 3646, so 3856 is deficient (3646 is less than 3856). Euler's totient φ(3856) = 1920 numbers up to 3856 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 3856 add up to 22, and repeating that until one digit is left gives the digital root 4. The Collatz sequence (halve if even, else 3n+1) takes 25 steps to reach 1.
