13502

13502 is a natural number that follows 13501 and precedes 13503. It is an even, composite number.

Its prime factorization is 2 × 43 × 157, so it is not prime. Consequently, 13502 is not a square or a cube. The sum of its decimal digits is 1+3+5+0+2 = 11, which means it is not divisible by 3 or 9. In other bases, 13502 has the representations: binary 11010010111110, octal 32276, and hexadecimal 34BE.

In mathematical contexts, 13502 can appear in discussions of factorization, divisibility, and sequence properties. It is a member of the set of even composite numbers and can be used as an example when illustrating prime factorization and base-conversion techniques.

In practical contexts, 13502 is used as a five-digit ZIP code in the United States to designate a geographic area for mail delivery. ZIP codes are assigned by the U.S. Postal Service and are used for routing, with the exact areas they cover sometimes changing due to population and routing updates.

Beyond mathematics and postal use, the sequence 13502 may arise as an identifier in datasets, catalogs, or numerical records. Without additional context, its meaning remains ambiguous, as with many five-digit numbers that serve multiple coding and sorting functions.
