384

384 is a natural number that follows 383 and precedes 385. In mathematics, it is an even composite number with prime factorization 2^7 × 3, meaning it is divisible by 2 seven times and by 3 once. As a result, 384 has 16 positive divisors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192, and 384. The sum of all divisors is 1020, so the sum of proper divisors is 636; thus 384 is an abundant number.

In various bases, 384 has the representations: binary 110000000, octal 600, and hexadecimal 0x180. In base 3, it is written as 112020_3. The number can be viewed as 3 × 2^7 and is a multiple of 64 and 128.

In data terms, 384 bits equal 48 bytes, a size sometimes encountered in reference to cryptographic or data-block contexts. This illustrates how 384 can arise as a convenient round figure in computing, aside from its pure mathematical properties.

Overall, 384 serves as a representative example of a highly factorable even number with a balanced mix of small prime factors, highlighting typical divisor structure and base conversions used in number theory and computer science.
