561 (five hundred [and] sixty-one) is the natural number following 560 and preceding 562.[1]
In mathematics
[edit]561 is a Fermat pseudoprime to base 2,[2] a centered icosahedral number,[3] the 33rd triangular number, and the 17th hexagonal number. It is a composite number, with the divisors being 1, 3, 11, 17, 33, 51, 187, and 561. Its prime factorization is 3 * 11 * 17.[1]
Carmichael number
[edit]561 is most notable for being the first, and smallest Carmichael number.[4][5][6] 561 is considered one since it satisfies the Korselt’s Criterion. A number satisfies the criterion if the number is an odd number, consists of a product of distinct primes, and satisfies (p − 1) | (n − 1) for every prime p dividing the number.[7] It was first discovered by Václav Šimerka along with six more other numbers.[a][6]
Notes
[edit]- ↑ The seven Carmichael numbers that Václav Šimerka discovered are 561, 1105, 1729, 2465, 2821, 6601, and 8911.[8]
