555

Do you mean 555 in math, the 555 timer IC in electronics, or something else (like a problem number)? Here are quick notes for the two most common possibilities:

If 555 is a math number:

• Prime factorization: 555 = 3 × 5 × 37
• Divisors: 1, 3, 5, 15, 37, 111, 185, 555 (eight divisors)
• Sum of divisors: 912
• Euler totient: φ(555) = 288
• Binary: 1000101011
• Hex: 0x22B
• Roman numeral: DLV
• Quick practice ideas:
  • Is 555 divisible by 9? (Sum of digits is 15, so no)
  • Find all divisors and verify their sum equals 912
  • Compute φ(555) (answer: 288)

If 555 refers to the 555 timer IC:

• Modes: astable (free-running) and monostable (one-shot)
• Key formulas:
  • Astable frequency: f = 1.44 / ((RA + 2 RB) C)
  • Astable high time: TH = 0.693 (RA + RB) C
  • Astable low time: TL = 0.693 (RB) C
  • Monostable pulse width: T = 1.1 R C
• Quick example: RA = 1 kΩ, RB = 2 kΩ, C = 10 nF
  • f ≈ 1.44 / ((1k + 2×2k)×10nF) ≈ 28.8 kHz
  • TH ≈ 0.693 × (1k + 2k) × 10nF ≈ 20.8 µs
  • TL ≈ 0.693 × 2k × 10nF ≈ 13.9 µs
