In mathematics

146 is an
octahedral number In number theory, an octahedral number is a figurate number that represents the number of spheres in an octahedron formed from close-packed spheres. The ''n''th octahedral number O_n can be obtained by the formula:. :O_n=. The first few octahed ...
, the number of spheres that can be packed into in a
regular octahedron In geometry, an octahedron (plural: octahedra, octahedrons) is a polyhedron with eight faces. The term is most commonly used to refer to the regular octahedron, a Platonic solid composed of eight equilateral triangles, four of which meet at ea ...
with six spheres along each edge. For an octahedron with seven spheres along each edge, the number of spheres on the surface of the octahedron is again 146. It is also possible to arrange 146 disks in the plane into an irregular octagon with six disks on each side, making 146 an octo number. There is no integer with exactly 146
coprime In mathematics, two integers and are coprime, relatively prime or mutually prime if the only positive integer that is a divisor of both of them is 1. Consequently, any prime number that divides does not divide , and vice versa. This is equivale ...
s less than it, so 146 is a
nontotient In number theory, a nontotient is a positive integer ''n'' which is not a totient number: it is not in the range of Euler's totient function φ, that is, the equation φ(''x'') = ''n'' has no solution ''x''. In other words, ''n'' is a nontotient ...
. It is also never the difference between an integer and the total of coprimes below it, so it is a
noncototient In mathematics, a noncototient is a positive integer ''n'' that cannot be expressed as the difference between a positive integer ''m'' and the number of coprime integers below it. That is, ''m'' − Ï†(''m'') = ''n'', where Ï ...
. And it is not the sum of proper divisors of any number, making it an
untouchable number An untouchable number is a positive integer that cannot be expressed as the sum of all the proper divisors of any positive integer (including the untouchable number itself). That is, these numbers are not in the image of the aliquot sum function. ...
