How to work it out
- 1
What is special about 737: a palindrome: it reads 737 backwards too; a semiprime: 11 × 67, the product of two primes.
- 2
737 is composite. Its prime factorisation is
- 3
The divisors add up to 816; without 737 itself that is 79, so 737 is deficient (79 is less than 737). Euler's totient φ(737) = 660 numbers up to 737 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 737 add up to 17, and repeating that until one digit is left gives the digital root 8. The Collatz sequence (halve if even, else 3n+1) takes 139 steps to reach 1.
