There is no integer with exactly 154 coprimes below it, making 154 a noncototient, nor is there, in base 10, any integer that added up to its own digits yields 154, making 154 a self number

154 is the sum of the first six factorials, if one starts with $0!$ and assumes that ${\displaystyle 0!=1}$.
