8995

8995 is a natural number that follows 8994 and precedes 8996. It is an odd composite number with a prime factorization of 5 × 7 × 257. Because its prime factorization consists of three distinct primes, 8995 has eight positive divisors in total. The last digit being 5 confirms its divisibility by 5, while the sum of its digits (8 + 9 + 9 + 5 = 31) shows it is not divisible by 3. The number is not a square or a cube.

In base representations, 8995 has several common forms. In binary it is 10001100100011, which means it requires 14 bits to represent. In hexadecimal it is 0x2323, a pattern that repeats as 23 23. In octal it is 21443.

From a number-theory perspective, 8995 is the product of three primes (5, 7, and 257), where 257 is notable as a Fermat prime (2^(2^3) + 1). This makes 8995 a useful example for illustrating factorization and divisor-counting concepts, as well as for demonstrating multiple base representations.

There is no widely known historical or cultural significance attached specifically to the number 8995. It is primarily of interest as a mathematical object and a numerical reference point in various base representations.
