36524

36524 is a natural number that follows 36523 and precedes 36525. It is even and composite. Its prime factorization is 2^2 × 23 × 397, which yields 12 positive divisors: 1, 2, 4, 23, 46, 92, 397, 794, 1588, 9131, 18262, 36524. The sum of its proper divisors is 30340, so 36524 is a deficient number (the sum of proper divisors is less than the number itself).

Equivalently, 36524 = 4 × 9131, with 9131 further factoring as 23 × 397. This confirms the divisor structure and the overall factorization pattern of the number.

In calendrical terms, 36524 is the number of days in a typical 100-year interval in the Gregorian calendar that contains 24 leap years, such as the span from 1801 to 1900. Some 100-year intervals include 25 leap years and thus have 36525 days, reflecting the exception for century years that are divisible by 400.

Aside from these arithmetic and calendar observations, 36524 is not a prime, nor a perfect square or cube. Its factorization into small primes makes it a convenient example of a composite number with multiple distinct prime factors.
