How to work it out
- 1
456 has no famous special property in the usual lists (prime, square, cube, triangular, Fibonacci, palindrome, perfect), but it is still a composite number.
- 2
456 is composite. Its prime factorisation is
- 3
The divisors add up to 1200; without 456 itself that is 744, so 456 is abundant (744 is more than 456). Euler's totient φ(456) = 144 numbers up to 456 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 456 add up to 15, and repeating that until one digit is left gives the digital root 6. The Collatz sequence (halve if even, else 3n+1) takes 35 steps to reach 1.
