The sum of the first four positive factorial
s is 33. Adding up the sums of divisors of 1 through 6 yields 33. 33 is the smallest integer such that it and the next two integers all have the same number of divisors.
It is also the first member of the first cluster of three semiprimes (33,34,35); the next such cluster is 85,86,87.
Since the greatest prime factor of 332 + 1 = 1090 is 109, which is obviously more than 33 twice, 33 is a Størmer number
