262 (two hundred and sixty-two) is a natural number preceded by the number 261 and followed by 263. It has the prime factorization 2·131.

Mathematical properties

There are four divisors of this number, the divisors being 1, 2, 131, and 262 itself, which makes it a semiprime.

It is the sixth meandric number....[1] and the ninth open meandric number[2]

As it cannot be divided into the sum of the proper divisors of any number, it is the 17th untouchable number[3]

As it eventually reaches 1 when replaced by the sum of the square of each digit, it is the 40th 10-happy number[4]

As 262 is 262 backwards, it is a palindrome number[5]

262 was once the lowest number not to have its own Wikipedia page for more than three years since March 2017 when 261 was first created[6], this making it a candidate for the lowest uninteresting Number according to the definition given by Alex Bellos.[7] As of March 2021, the smallest natural number without its own Wikipedia page is 264, and the smallest prime number without its own Wikipedia page is 283.
