2596

2596 is a natural number that follows 2595 and precedes 2597. It is an even, composite number with several standard arithmetic properties.

Its prime factorization is 2596 = 2^2 × 11 × 59. Consequently, its positive divisors are 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44, 59, 118, 236, 649, 1298, and 2596. The sum of all divisors is 5040, so the sum of proper divisors is 2444, which is less than 2596; therefore 2596 is a deficient number.

In different numeral systems, 2596 can be represented as follows: in Roman numerals it is MMDXCVI; in binary it is 101000100100; and in hexadecimal it is A24. The decimal digits sum to 22, so the number is not divisible by 3.

Contextually, 2596 is mainly encountered as a specific integer in mathematics and as a label or identifier in various non-numeric systems. Beyond its basic properties as a composite, even number, there is no widely recognized mathematical specialness attached to 2596. In calendar terms, 2596 could denote a year in the Gregorian calendar, a future date in common discourse, but no canonical historical events are universally associated with that year.
