112 is a composite even number that factors as 2^4 × 7.

Composite

The number itself

Value
112
Digits
3
Digit sum
4

1 + 1 + 2

Digit sum repeated until one digit remains; equals n mod 9 (with 9 for multiples of 9).

Reversed
211

Reverses to 211.

Parity and primality

Parity
Even

Divisible by 2.

Prime
No

Composite — it factors as 2^4 × 7.

2 distinct prime factors, 5 with multiplicity.

Squarefree
No

At least one prime appears squared.

Möbius μ(n)
0

Zero, because a squared prime divides n.

Nearest primes
109 ← → 113

A gap of 4 between them.

Divisors

1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 56, 112

Aliquot sum
136

The proper divisors — everything except n itself.

Classification
Abundant

Its proper divisors overshoot by 24.

How many integers from 1 to n share no factor with n.

Sums and additive structure

Sum of two squares
No

A prime congruent to 3 mod 4 divides it an odd number of times, which rules it out.

Sum of three squares
No

Excluded by Legendre: it has the form 4^a(8b + 7).

Sum of four squares
Yes

Lagrange's four-square theorem: every non-negative integer is, without exception.

Goldbach pair
3 + 109

The smallest pair of primes summing to n. Goldbach’s conjecture says one always exists; it remains unproven.

Shapes and sequences

Figurate shapes
None

Not triangular, square, pentagonal, hexagonal, cubic, Fibonacci, Lucas, Catalan, factorial or a power of two.

Digit curiosities

Summing the squares of its digits falls into the 4 → 16 → 37 → … → 4 cycle.

Harshad number
Yes

Divisible by its digit sum 4 — 112 ÷ 4 = 28.
