6800000

6800000 is a natural number that can be expressed in standard decimal notation as six million eight hundred thousand. It is an even composite integer. In its prime factorization it equals 2^6 × 5^5 × 17^1. As a multiple of ten, it is divisible by 2, 5, and 10 and thus yields a trailing zero when written in base ten. In binary representation, 6800000 equals 110100111111010000000 in base two, illustrating that it occupies 23 bits. In hexadecimal, the number is written as 68 1000, and in base twelve it is 710 1100.

In a computational context, 6800000 is the size of some file datasets, such as a small transcriptome dataset in bioinformatics, or the capacity of an early digital memory card in the 1980s. Historically the approximate population of certain cities fell near this figure in the late 20th century; for example, around 1970 the city of Birmingham in the United Kingdom had a population close to six million eight hundred thousand. In financial reporting, a mid-sized corporation might report net sales of approximately six million eight hundred thousand dollars.

The number has no special status in mathematics beyond its basic properties, but it is sometimes used in percents and statistics. For instance, out of 10 million survey participants, 6.8 million might have responded positively, yielding a 68 % affirmative rate. Thus 6800000 appears in everyday contexts where modestly large but not astronomic values are required.
