3498

3498 is an integer in the decimal system, sitting between 3497 and 3499. It is a four-digit, even, composite number. Its prime factorization is 2 × 3 × 11 × 53, which makes it squarefree (no repeated prime factors). Accordingly, its positive divisors are 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66, 53, 106, 159, 318, 583, 1166, 1749, and 3498, totaling 16 divisors. The sum of its digits is 24, so its digital root is 6, and it is divisible by 3 and by 6.

In various numeral representations, 3498 has recognizable forms. In Roman numerals it is written as MMMCDXCVIII, equating to 3000 + 400 + 90 + 8. In binary it is 110110101010, and in hexadecimal it is 0xDAA (13×256 + 10×16 + 10 = 3498).

Mathematically, 3498 serves as an example of a squarefree composite number with four distinct prime factors, illustrating how a number can be composite while still lacking repeated prime components. It is also a convenient test value for illustrating divisors, factorization, and base-conversion techniques in introductory number theory. No widely known constants, theorems, or cultural artifacts center specifically on the number 3498, but it functions as a representative case in numerical examples.
