How to work it out
- 1
657 has no famous special property in the usual lists (prime, square, cube, triangular, Fibonacci, palindrome, perfect), but it is still a composite number.
- 2
657 is composite. Its prime factorisation is
- 3
The divisors add up to 962; without 657 itself that is 305, so 657 is deficient (305 is less than 657). Euler's totient φ(657) = 432 numbers up to 657 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 657 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 51 steps to reach 1.
