0588

0588 is a four-digit decimal numeral that may appear with a leading zero in fixed-width systems. The numeric value of 0588 is 588.

In arithmetic, 588 factors as 2^2 × 3 × 7^2. It is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 49, 84, 196, and 588. The sum of its digits is 21, making it a Harshad number in base 10.

In computing, leading zeros can indicate fixed-width formatting or, in some languages, octal literals. A number beginning with 0 may be interpreted as octal in older programming languages, which makes 0588 invalid because octal digits go only up to 7. Other languages use explicit prefixes for non-decimal bases, while many modern contexts treat 0588 as a decimal literal regardless of leading zeros.

As an identifier, 0588 commonly appears as a model, part, or catalog number in inventories, or as a year-like reference in documents that preserve four-digit year formats. Without context, it does not indicate a specific meaning.
