In mathematics

There is no answer to the equation φ(x) = 118, making 118 a nontotient.

118 is the smallest n such that the range n, n + 1, ... 4n/3 contains at least one prime from each of these forms: 4x + 1, 4x - 1, 6x + 1 and 6x - 1.

Another way in which 118 is the smallest is that there are no smaller integers that can be expressed as the sum of three integers such that each set of three has the same product. For 118, those are 14 + 50 + 54 = 15 + 40 + 63 = 18 + 30 + 70 = 21 + 25 + 72.^[1]
