It is the factorial of 4 and a composite number, the smallest number with exactly eight divisors, its proper divisors being 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12, making it a highly composite number. Subtracting one from each of its divisors (except 1 and 2, but including itself) yields a prime number; 24 is the largest number with this property. There are 10 solutions to the equation φ(x) = 24, namely 35, 39, 45, 52, 56, 70, 72, 78, 84 and 90. This is more than any integer below 24, making 24 a highly totient number. 24 is a nonagonal number. This number is also the sum of a twin prime (11 + 13). It is ...
