How to work it out
- 1
76 has no famous special property in the usual lists (prime, square, cube, triangular, Fibonacci, palindrome, perfect), but it is still a composite number.
- 2
76 is composite. Its prime factorisation is
- 3
The divisors add up to 140; without 76 itself that is 64, so 76 is deficient (64 is less than 76). Euler's totient φ(76) = 36 numbers up to 76 share no factor with it.
- 4
The digits of 76 add up to 13, and repeating that until one digit is left gives the digital root 4. The Collatz sequence (halve if even, else 3n+1) takes 22 steps to reach 1.
