What Makes 46 Special?

Forty-six has several interesting math properties. It is a composite number, meaning it can be divided evenly by numbers other than just 1 and itself. Its factors are 1, 2, 23, and 46.

When you add up its proper factors (1, 2, and 23), you get 26. Since 26 is less than 46, it's known as a deficient number.
