8474

8474 is a natural number that follows 8473 and precedes 8475. Beyond its role as a counting number, it appears in various mathematical and cataloging contexts, including as the numeric designation assigned to a minor planet in astronomy.

In mathematics, 8474 is even and composite. Its prime factorization is 2 × 19 × 223, making it squarefree. It has eight positive divisors: 1, 2, 19, 38, 223, 446, 4237, and 8474. The sum of its divisors is 13,440, so the sum of proper divisors is 4,966, and hence 8474 is not a perfect number. Euler’s totient function yields φ(8474) = 3,996. The number’s binary representation is 10000100011010, and its hexadecimal form is 0x211A.

In astronomy, 8474 is used as the official numeric designation for a minor planet in the solar system’s catalog. As with other such designations, the number identifies the object once its orbit is well determined, independent of any official name it may receive.

Other uses of the numeral 8474 appear in fields such as engineering, cataloging, and coding, where it may serve as a model number, part number, or identifier. No single domain defines the number, and its significance is largely contextual.
