44100000
44100000 is a large integer. Its prime factorization is 2^5 * 3^2 * 5^5 * 7^2 * 11. This number is significant in the field of digital audio. Specifically, 44100 Hz is the standard sampling rate for audio CDs. This means that a sound wave is sampled 44,100 times every second to create a digital representation. This sampling rate was chosen to be more than twice the highest frequency that the human ear can typically perceive (around 20 kHz), adhering to the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, which states that the sampling rate must be at least twice the highest frequency in the signal to avoid aliasing. The number 44100 is also divisible by many small integers, making it convenient for various audio processing operations. It is 1000 times 44.1.
