Here’s some stuff that you probably didn’t know about the number 995:

995 has only two factor pairs, and they both use the exact same digits (1, 9, 9, 5):
1 × 995 =  199 × 5

It is the hypotenuse of a Pythagorean triple:
597-796-995 which is (3-4-5) times 199

It is palindrome 3E3 in BASE 16 (E is 14 base 10) because 3(16²) + 14(16) + 3(1) = 995

• 995 is a composite number.
• Prime factorization: 995 = 5 × 199
• The exponents in the prime factorization are 1 and 1. Adding one to each and multiplying we get (1 + 1)(1 + 1) = 2 × 2 = 4. Therefore 995 has exactly 4 factors.
• Factors of 995: 1, 5, 199, 995
• Factor pairs: 995 = 1 × 995 or 5 × 199
• 995 has no square factors that allow its square root to be simplified. √995 ≈ 31.54362
