5004

5004 is a positive integer in the natural number sequence, following 5003 and preceding 5005. It is even and composite, not a prime. As a whole number, it can be used in counting, measurements, or labeling within mathematical, scientific, or logistical contexts.

Its prime factorization is 2^2 × 3^2 × 139, so 5004 = 2^2 · 3^2 · 139. As a result, it has 18 positive divisors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 139, 278, 417, 556, 834, 1251, 1668, 2502 and 5004. The sum of its digits is 9, and the number is divisible by 9 and by 36 (5004 ÷ 36 = 139).

In other base systems, 5004 has alternative representations: in binary it is 1001110001100, and in hexadecimal it is 0x138C. These representations are useful in computer science and digital electronics when converting between numeral systems or working with low-level data.

Beyond pure mathematics, 5004 can appear as a catalog, model, or identification number in various fields such as engineering, manufacturing, or astronomy. In astronomy, numbers are assigned sequentially to minor planets and other objects; if 5004 were used as such a designation, it would refer to a specific object within the broader catalog of discovered bodies.

Overall, 5004 is a composite, highly factorable integer with several practical properties in arithmetic, numeral systems, and potential real-world labeling contexts.
