237218

237218 is a six-digit integer that serves as a numeric designation in a variety of systems. As with many such numbers, its meaning depends on the context in which it is used.

In astronomy, the Minor Planet Center assigns permanent numbers to confirmed asteroids and similar bodies. If 237218 is such a designation, it would denote the 237,218th minor planet to receive a number, regardless of its eventual name. Details like discovery date, discoverer, and orbital elements would be recorded in astronomical databases, but the number alone does not reveal these specifics.

In postal or administrative coding, six-digit numbers are common in some countries. A code like 237218 could designate a particular delivery area or locality, subject to the rules of the country's postal system. Without a country reference, the code has no fixed geographic meaning.

In manufacturing or cataloging, 237218 could be used as a part number, model identifier, lot code, or serial number. Such usage is entirely organizational and varies by company and industry.

Mathematically, 237,218 is an even integer. It factors as 2 × 118,609; the remaining factor 118,609 is odd, and its primality is not immediately evident.
