405
405 is a odd composite number that follows 404 and precedes 406. It is composed of 10 distinct factors: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 27, 45, 81, 135, 405. Its prime factorization can be written as 3^4 × 5. 405 is classified as a deficient number based on the sum of its proper divisors. In computer science, 405 is represented as 110010101 in binary and 195 in hexadecimal. Historically, it is written as CDV in Roman numerals.
