555

Do you want help with 555 in math, electronics (555 timer IC), or something else?

Here are quick math facts you can use right away:

• Prime factorization: 555 = 3 × 5 × 37
• Divisors: 1, 3, 5, 15, 37, 111, 185, 555 (total 8 divisors)
• Sum of divisors (including 555): 912
• Sum of proper divisors: 912 − 555 = 357
• 555 = 15 × 37
• In Roman numerals: DLV
• In binary: 1000101011
• In hexadecimal: 0x22B
• Harshad (Niven) number? Yes, since 555 is divisible by the sum of its digits (5+5+5 = 15; 555 ÷ 15 = 37)

If you’re studying the 555 timer IC:

• Common use: astable (free-running oscillator) or monostable (one-shot)
• Approximate frequency for astable: f ≈ 1.44 / ((Ra + 2Rb) C)
• Typical pins: VCC, GND, Threshold, Trigger, Discharge, Output, Control Voltage, Reset
• Want a quick how-to problem or a schematic example? I can walk through a circuit with you.
