34248

34248 is a numeric designation used in several fields, most commonly as a sequential identifier in astronomy and as an ordinary integer in mathematics. It serves as a reference label rather than descriptive content about any single object.

In mathematics, 34248 is an even composite number. Its prime factorization is 2^3 × 3 × 1427; its digit sum is 21, indicating divisibility by 3. This makes 34248 divisible by 3 and by powers of two, among other factors.

In astronomy, 34248 is the designation of a minor planet. The number is assigned by the Minor Planet Center when its orbit is confirmed. Some such objects later receive a name from the discoverers with approval by the International Astronomical Union, but not all obtain a formal name.

Beyond science, numeric strings like 34248 commonly appear as catalog or serial numbers in various databases and records, where they function as unique identifiers. The use of a single number across different systems highlights how numeric designations can provide compact, unambiguous references that are independent of language or context.
