170 is the smallest ''n'' for which φ(''n'') and σ(''n'') are both square(64 and 324 respectively). But 170 is never a solution for φ(''x''), making it a [[nontotient]]. Nor is it ever a solution to ''x'' - φ(''x''), making it a [[noncototient]].

170 (one hundred [and] seventy) is the natural number following 169 and preceding 171.

In mathematics

[edit]

170 is the smallest n for which φ(n) and σ(n) are both square (64 and 324 respectively). But 170 is never a solution for φ(x), making it a nontotient. Nor is it ever a solution to x - φ(x), making it a noncototient.

170 is a repdigit in base 4 (2222) and base 16 (AA), as well as in bases 33, 84, and 169. It is also a sphenic number.

170 is the largest integer for which its factorial can be stored in IEEE 754 double-precision floating-point format. This is probably why it is also the largest factorial that Google's built-in calculator will calculate, returning the answer as 170! = 7.25741562 × 10306.[citation needed]

There are 170 different cyclic Gilbreath permutations on 12 elements,[1] and therefore there are 170 different real periodic points of order 12 on the Mandelbrot set.[2]
