Answer on Question #42643, Math, Other

Problem. What is curious number?

Answer: The number is called curios, if it has some interesting properties. For example:

- the number 2 is curios as it is the least prime number and only even prime number;

- the number 101 is curios as it is the sum of five consecutive primes

(13+17+19+23+29=101)(13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 = 101);

- the number 145 is curios as it equals the sum of the factorials of its decimal digits (1!+4!+5!=1+24+120=145)(1! + 4! + 5! = 1 + 24 + 120 = 145);

- the number 153 is curios as it equals the sum of the cubes of its decimal digits (13+53+33=1+125+27=153)(1^{3} + 5^{3} + 3^{3} = 1 + 125 + 27 = 153).
