Digits
3
Digit sum
9

1 + 8 + 0

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

Reversed
81

Reverses to 81.

Parity and primality

Parity
Even

Divisible by 2.

Prime
No

Composite — it factors as 2^2 × 3^2 × 5.

Prime factorisation
2^2 × 3^2 × 5

3 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

The proper divisors — everything except n itself.

Classification
Abundant

Its proper divisors overshoot by 186.

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

Sums and additive structure

Sum of two squares
Yes

6² + 12² = 180

Sum of three squares
Yes

Legendre's three-square theorem allows it.

Sum of four squares
Yes

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

Goldbach pair
7 + 173

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 9 — 180 ÷ 9 = 20.
