Summary

Names

This number is called the Hardy-Ramanujan number after a conversation between Hardy and Ramanujan where Ramanujan observed that it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two distinct ways: $\!1729=10^{3}+9^{3}=12^{3}+1^{3}$.

Factorization

$\!1729=7\cdot 13\cdot 19$

Arithmetic functions

Function	Value	Explanation
Euler totient function	1296	It is the product $(7-1)(13-1)(19-1)=(6)(12)(18)=1296$.
universal exponent	36	It is the least common multiple of $\{7-1,13-1,19-1\}$.
divisor count function	8	It is the product $(1+1)(1+1)(1+1)$ where the first 1s in each sum represent the multiplicities of the prime divisors.
divisor sum function	2240	It is the product of $(7^{2}-1)/(7-1)$, $(13^{2}-1)/(13-1)$, and $(19^{2}-1)/(19-1)$
largest prime divisor	19	direct from factorization
largest prime power divisor	19	direct from factorization
square-free part	1729	the original number is a square-free number.
Mobius function	-1	the number is square-free and has an odd number of prime divisors (namely, 3 prime divisors).
