Fifty

Fifty is the smallest number that is the sum of two non-zero square numbers in two distinct ways: 50 = 12 + 72 = 52 + 52.[1] It is also the sum of three squares, 50 = 32 + 42 + 52. It is a Harshad number.


There is no solution to the equation φ(x) = 50, making 50 a nontotient. Nor is there a solution to the equation x – φ(x) = 50, making 50 a noncototient.


The aliquot sum of 50 is 43 and its aliquot sequence is (50,43,1,0). Fifty is itself the aliquot sum of 40 and 94.
