What is special about 64: a power of 2 (); a perfect square (8²).
- 2
64 is composite. Its prime factorisation is
- 3
The divisors add up to 127; without 64 itself that is 63, so 64 is deficient (63 is less than 64). Euler's totient φ(64) = 32 numbers up to 64 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 64 add up to 10, and repeating that until one digit is left gives the digital root 1. The Collatz sequence (halve if even, else 3n+1) takes 6 steps to reach 1.

Is 64 divisible by 2 to 12?
| Divisor | Answer | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Yes (64 ÷ 2 = 32) | A number is divisible by 2 if the last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6, 8). |
| 3 | No (remainder 1) | A number is divisible by 3 if the digits add up to a multiple of 3. |
| 4 | Yes (64 ÷ 4 = 16) | 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 4) | A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3. |
| 7 | No (remainder 1) | 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 | Yes (64 ÷ 8 = 8) | A number is divisible by 8 if the last three digits make a multiple of 8. |
| 9 | No (remainder 1) | 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 | No (remainder 9) | A number is divisible by 11 if the alternating sum of the digits is a multiple of 11. |
| 12 | No (remainder 4) | A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by both 3 and 4. |
