Here are some facts about the number 1104:

• 1104 is a composite number.
• Prime factorization: 1104 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 23, which can be written 1104 = 2⁴ × 3 × 23
• The exponents in the prime factorization are 4, 1 and 1. Adding one to each and multiplying we get (4 + 1)(1 + 1)(1 + 1) = 5 × 2 × 2 = 20. Therefore 1104 has exactly 20 factors.
• Factors of 1104: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 23, 24, 46, 48, 69, 92, 138, 184, 276, 368, 552, 1104
• Factor pairs: 1104 = 1 × 1104, 2 × 552, 3 × 368, 4 × 276, 6 × 184, 8 × 138, 12 × 92, 16 × 69, 23 × 48, or 24 × 46
• Taking the factor pair with the largest square number factor, we get √1104 = (√16)(√69) = 4√69 ≈ 33.2265.

1104 is the sum of the sixteen prime numbers from 37 to 103. Do you know what those prime numbers are?
