8596

8596 is a positive integer with several notable properties. Its prime factorization is 2^2 × 7 × 307, so it is composite and not a perfect square. The digit sum in base 10 is 8+5+9+6 = 28, and 8596 is divisible by 28 (8596 ÷ 28 = 307), making it a Harshad (Niven) number in base 10.

In common numeral systems, 8596 is represented as:

- Binary: 10000110010100

- Octal: 20624

- Hexadecimal: 0x2194 (which corresponds to Unicode code point U+2194)

Unicode and character encoding provide another context for 8596. The hexadecimal code point U+2194 is the Left Right Arrow symbol (↔). In Unicode, this character is part of the Arrows block. In HTML, it can be represented as decimal ↔ or hexadecimal ↔, and there is a named entity ↔ for the left-right arrow.

The symbol ↔ is commonly used in mathematics and logic to indicate bidirectional relationships or a biconditional in some notations, as well as in diagrams and instructional text to show correspondence or equivalence between two things. As a decimal code point, 8596 thus serves as a bridge between numeric representation and symbolic usage in digital text.
