0142004

0142004 is a seven-digit numeric string that may function as an identifier in various data systems. When treated as a number in standard decimal notation, it equals 142004. The leading zero can be significant in fixed-width coding schemes, where the field length is fixed and leading zeros are preserved.

In computing contexts, numbers with a leading zero are sometimes interpreted as octal literals in languages that use C-style syntax; in that case 0142004 would correspond to the decimal value 50180. In other contexts, the leading zero is simply a padding character with no mathematical meaning. Whether the leading zero carries significance depends on the data format and the software interpreting the value.

Common uses include cataloging, inventory management, and asset tagging, where a fixed-length identifier helps sort and reference items. It may appear as a product model, batch code, or accession number in manufacturing, libraries, or museums. Because the same string can arise in different domains, its exact meaning is determined by the data schema and accompanying metadata within a given system. Without contextual information, 0142004 remains an abstract identifier rather than a value with a single universal interpretation.
