58 is a composite number, meaning its factor is 1, 2, 29, and 58.[1] Other than 1 and the number itself, 58 can be formed by multiplying two primes 2 and 29, making it a semiprime.[2] 58 is not divisible by any square number other than 1, making it a square-free integer[3] A semiprime that is not square numbers is called a squarefree semiprime, and 58 is among them.[4]

58 is equal to the sum of the first seven consecutive prime numbers:[5]

 

This is a difference of 1 from the seventeenth prime number and seventh super-prime, 59.[6][7] 58 has an aliquot sum of 32[8] within an aliquot sequence of two composite numbers (58, 32, 13, 1, 0) in the 13-aliquot tree.[9] There is no solution to the equation  , making fifty-eight the sixth noncototient;[10] however, the totient summatory function over the first thirteen integers is 58.[11][a]

On the other hand, the Euler totient of 58 is the second perfect number (28),[13] where the sum-of-divisors of 58 is the third unitary perfect number (90).

58 is also the second non-trivial 11-gonal number, after 30.[14]

58 represents twice the sum between the first two discrete biprimes 14 + 15 = 29, with the first two members of the first such triplet 33 and 34 (or twice 17, the fourth super-prime) respectively the twenty-first and twenty-second composite numbers,[15] and 22 itself the thirteenth composite.[15] (Where also, 58 is the sum of all primes between 2 and 17.) The first triplet is the only triplet in the sequence of consecutive discrete biprimes whose members collectively have prime factorizations that nearly span a set of consecutive prime numbers.

  is also semiprime (the second such number   for   after 2).[16]

The fifth repdigit is the product between the thirteenth and fifty-eighth primes,

 

58 is also the smallest integer in decimal whose square root has a simple continued fraction with period 7.[17] It is the fourth Smith number whose sum of its digits is equal to the sum of the digits in its prime factorization (13).[18]

Given 58, the Mertens function returns  , the fourth such number to do so.[19] The sum of the first three numbers to return zero (2, 39, 40) sum to 81 = 92, which is the fifty-eighth composite number.[15]

  1. ^ 58 is also the partial sum of the first eight records set by highly totient numbers m with values φ(m) = n: {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 17}.[12]
