How to work it out
- 1
What is special about 39: a semiprime: 3 × 13, the product of two primes.
- 2
39 is composite. Its prime factorisation is
- 3
The divisors add up to 56; without 39 itself that is 17, so 39 is deficient (17 is less than 39). Euler's totient φ(39) = 24 numbers up to 39 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 39 add up to 12, and repeating that until one digit is left gives the digital root 3. The Collatz sequence (halve if even, else 3n+1) takes 34 steps to reach 1.
