9506

9506 is a natural number that follows 9505 and precedes 9507. It is an even, composite number with prime factorization 2 × 7^2 × 97. The number can also be expressed as the product of two consecutive integers, 97 and 98 (97 × 98 = 9506), placing it between 97^2 = 9409 and 98^2 = 9604.

In base representations, 9506 equals 10010100100010 in binary and 0x2522 in hexadecimal. The digit sum of 9506 is 20, and it is divisible by 2 but not by 3 or 5, reflecting its even and non-multiplicative properties for those small primes. Its factorization shows it is not a prime and not a perfect square, while its expression as a product of consecutive integers highlights a simple number-theoretic relationship.

In astronomy, 9506 is used as the numerical designation for a minor planet in the catalog maintained by the Minor Planet Center. Such designations are part of a systematic listing of small bodies orbiting the Sun, assigned sequentially as discoveries are confirmed.

Beyond mathematics and astronomy, 9506 may occur as a model number, catalog identifier, or code in various technical, commercial, or archival contexts. There is no single widely recognized meaning tied to the number beyond its mathematical properties and its role as an identifier in specialized catalogs.
