12599

12599 is a natural number that follows 12598 and precedes 12600. It is odd and composite.

Its prime factorization is 12599 = 43 × 293, where 43 and 293 are prime. Therefore 12599 is a semiprime and squarefree, having exactly two distinct prime factors and no repeated factors.

In different bases, 12599 equals 11000100110111 in binary, 0x3137 in hexadecimal, and 30467 in octal. The decimal digit sum is 26, so 12599 ≡ 8 (mod 9). It is not divisible by 2, 3, 5, or 11, and it is not a palindrome nor a perfect power.

As a small semiprime, 12599 has limited immediate applications, but it serves as an example of numbers formed by the product of two distinct primes. Such numbers are of interest in elementary number theory and illustrate concepts related to factorization, primality, and modular arithmetic. Its factorization into 43 and 293 confirms its status as a product of two primes, a category that underpins certain cryptographic ideas when scaled to much larger values.
