416 and Level 5

416 is part of many Pythagorean triples. The smallest one is [160-384-416]. The largest one is the only primitive of the lot: [416-43,263-43,265]. Even though I find these triples incredibly easy to find, you can rest assured that you will probably go your entire life without ever having to know either of them!

  • 416 is a composite number.
  • Prime factorization: 416 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 13, which can be written 416 = (2^5) x 13
  • The exponents in the prime factorization are 5 and 1. Adding one to each and multiplying we get (5 + 1)(1 + 1) = 6 x 2 = 12. Therefore 416 has exactly 12 factors.
  • Factors of 416: 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 32, 52, 104, 208, 416
  • Factor pairs: 416 = 1 x 416, 2 x 208, 4 x 104, 8 x 52, 13 x 32, or 16 x 26
  • Taking the factor pair with the largest square number factor, we get √416 = (√16)(√26) = 4√26 ≈ 20.3961
