How to work it out
- 1
What is special about 41: a twin prime (41 and 43 are both prime); the 13th prime number.
- 2
41 is prime, so its only factors are 1 and 41. It is the 13th prime; the next prime is 43 and the one before is 37.
- 3
The divisors add up to 42; without 41 itself that is 1, so 41 is deficient (1 is less than 41). Euler's totient φ(41) = 40 numbers up to 41 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 41 add up to 5, and repeating that until one digit is left gives the digital root 5. The Collatz sequence (halve if even, else 3n+1) takes 109 steps to reach 1.
