44 is a palindrome: it reads 44 backwards too. Its prime factorisation is × 11. Divisors (6): 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44.
Pick any whole number from 1 to 100,000.
How to work it out
- 1
What is special about 44: a palindrome: it reads 44 backwards too; a happy number: repeatedly adding the squares of its digits reaches 1.
- 2
44 is composite. Its prime factorisation is
- 3
The divisors add up to 84; without 44 itself that is 40, so 44 is deficient (40 is less than 44). Euler's totient φ(44) = 20 numbers up to 44 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 44 add up to 8, and repeating that until one digit is left gives the digital root 8. The Collatz sequence (halve if even, else 3n+1) takes 16 steps to reach 1.

Is 44 divisible by 2 to 12?
| Divisor | Answer | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Yes (44 ÷ 2 = 22) | A number is divisible by 2 if the last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6, 8). |
| 3 | No (remainder 2) | A number is divisible by 3 if the digits add up to a multiple of 3. |
| 4 | Yes (44 ÷ 4 = 11) | A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits make a multiple of 4. |
| 5 | No (remainder 4) | A number is divisible by 5 if the last digit is 0 or 5. |
| 6 | No (remainder 2) | A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3. |
| 7 | No (remainder 2) | A number is divisible by 7 if double the last digit and subtract it from the rest: the result is a multiple of 7. |
| 8 | No (remainder 4) | A number is divisible by 8 if the last three digits make a multiple of 8. |
| 9 | No (remainder 8) | A number is divisible by 9 if the digits add up to a multiple of 9. |
| 10 | No (remainder 4) | A number is divisible by 10 if the last digit is 0. |
| 11 | Yes (44 ÷ 11 = 4) | A number is divisible by 11 if the alternating sum of the digits is a multiple of 11. |
| 12 | No (remainder 8) | A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by both 3 and 4. |
