How to work it out
- 1
459 has no famous special property in the usual lists (prime, square, cube, triangular, Fibonacci, palindrome, perfect), but it is still a composite number.
- 2
459 is composite. Its prime factorisation is
- 3
The divisors add up to 720; without 459 itself that is 261, so 459 is deficient (261 is less than 459). Euler's totient φ(459) = 288 numbers up to 459 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 459 add up to 18, and repeating that until one digit is left gives the digital root 9. The Collatz sequence (halve if even, else 3n+1) takes 128 steps to reach 1.
