2449489742783178

2449489742783178 is a 16-digit integer. It represents the value floor(sqrt(6) × 10^15), the integer part of the square root of 6 scaled by one quadrillion. The decimal expansion of sqrt(6) begins 2.449489742783178..., so multiplying by 10^15 yields 2,449,489,742,783,178, and thus the 16-digit integer 2449489742783178.

As a fixed-point representation, this number encodes approximately 2.449489742783178 in decimal form with 15 fractional digits. It is even and divisible by 3 (its digits sum to 87), with quotient 408,248,290,463,863 when divided by 6.

In mathematics and computing, such integers are used to store irrational constants in fixed-point arithmetic, where a real number is represented by an integer equal to the number multiplied by a power of ten (or two) and truncated or rounded. 2449489742783178 thus serves as a precise, finite approximation of sqrt(6) for applications requiring integer-only calculations, such as certain embedded systems or numerical algorithms.

Note that 2449489742783178 is not the value of sqrt(6); it is an approximation obtained by scaling and truncating the true irrational value. The exact sqrt(6) remains irrational and cannot be expressed exactly with any finite decimal expansion.
