7268

7268 is a natural number that follows 7267 and precedes 7269. It is an even, composite integer used in mathematics and as a numeric identifier in various catalogs and datasets.

In mathematics, 7268 has the prime factorization 2^2 × 23 × 79. This confirms its compositeness and shows its divisors include 1, 2, 4, 23, 46, 92, 79, 158, 316, and others derived from combining these factors. The number is not a prime, nor a power of two, and its approximate square root is 85.3. Because the primes 23 and 79 are both congruent to 3 mod 4 and appear with exponent 1, 7268 cannot be expressed as a sum of two squares. In hexadecimal, 7268 is 0x1C64, and in binary it is 1110001100100.

Beyond pure number theory, 7268 may serve as an identifying label in various systems, such as catalogues, product lines, or scientific databases. In astronomy, sequentially numbered minor planets or other objects may bear the number 7268 as part of their official designation, though specific naming would depend on the formal catalog entry.
