Abstract

Translation of the Latin original "Speculationes circa quasdam insignes proprietates numerorum" (1784). E564 in the Enestrom index. In this paper Euler talks about Farey sequences and proves some results about the phi function, the number of positive integers less than and relatively prime to an integer. Euler uses the notation pi instead of phi.
