17273

17273 is a natural number that follows 17272 and precedes 17274. In mathematics, it is classified as an odd composite number.

The prime factorization of 17273 is 23 multiplied by 751, making it a semiprime (the product of two distinct primes). Consequently, its divisors are exactly 1, 23, 751, and 17273. Because it has two distinct prime factors, 17273 is squarefree and is not a prime power.

As a five-digit decimal value, 17273 does not have widely noted special properties beyond its role as an example of a semiprime. It is not a palindrome, nor does it belong to commonly cited small-number sequences in an obvious way. Its status as a semiprime means it has four divisors and is relatively straightforward to factor compared with larger composites.

In broader contexts, numbers such as 17273 are used in discussions of integer factorization, primality tests, and the study of semiprimes in number theory. They illustrate basic concepts about divisors, prime factors, and the structure of composite numbers.
