8497

8497 is a natural number. It follows 8496 and precedes 8498.

In mathematics, 8497 is a composite number with prime factors 29 and 293, so 8497 = 29 × 293. Its positive divisors are 1, 29, 293, and 8497. Because it is a product of two primes, 8497 is a semiprime.

Both prime factors are congruent to 1 modulo 4, which implies that the number can be expressed as a sum of two squares. Indeed, 8497 = 81^2 + 44^2 = 6561 + 1936.

As a semiprime, 8497 is not a prime nor a square. Its digit sum is 28, so it is not divisible by 3; the number is odd and not a Harshad number. It does not correspond to a widely used constant, milestone, or widely recognized mathematical constant beyond its basic arithmetic properties.
