8986

8986 is a natural number that follows 8985 and precedes 8987. In mathematics, it is notable for being even and for its prime factorization.

The prime factorization is 2 × 4493, with 4493 being a prime number, making 8986 a semiprime (the product of two primes).

In decimal, 8986 is not a palindrome; the digit sum is 31, so it is not divisible by 3. It is congruent to 2 modulo 4 and 2 modulo 8 (8986 ≡ 2 mod 4 and 8986 ≡ 2 mod 8). It is not a perfect square or cube.

In binary, 8986 is 10001100011010.

As a small semiprime, 8986 can serve as a simple example in discussions of factorization algorithms, primality tests, and integer properties.

There is no widely recognized historical or cultural significance attached to 8986. It is primarily of interest in number theory as an example of an even semiprime.
