4181
the answer for puzzle #64

The five clues

  1. A four-digit Fibonacci number.
  2. A composite Fibonacci in the four-digit range.
  3. A four-digit composite Fibonacci at a prime index — an unusual case.
  4. Not prime: it factors as 37 × 113 — a rare non-prime Fibonacci with prime index.
  5. The smallest Fibonacci pseudoprime — passes some primality tests despite being composite.

Backstory

4181 = F₁₉ = 37 · 113. It's the smallest composite Fibonacci number whose index is prime, and it acts as a Fibonacci pseudoprime — passing certain Fibonacci-based primality tests despite being composite. Both 37 and 113 first divide the Fibonacci sequence at index 19.
