23500

23500 is a natural number that follows 23499 and precedes 23501. The number is even and divisible by 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 125, 250, 500, 47, 94, 235, 470, 1175, 2350, 4675, 9350, and 23500, giving it a total of 24 divisors. Its prime factorization is 2² × 5³ × 47. As a result, 23500 is not a prime number, nor is it a perfect square or a perfect cube. In binary representation it is 0b0101101111001101, and in hexadecimal it is 0x5BCD. The decimal representation can be split into 23 and 500, but no special arithmetic property arises from this split.

In mathematical literature, 23500 appears occasionally as an integer example in studies of divisor sums and factorization patterns. The sum of all its divisors is 105600, because the sigma function σ(23500) = (1+2+4)(1+5+25+125)(1+47)= 105600. The average order of the divisor function near this size is again illustrated by σ(23500).

The number is sometimes used as a placeholder identifier in datasets or as a model number in product catalogs, but it holds no distinctive significance outside of general number theory.
