9971

9971 is a natural number that follows 9970 and precedes 9972. In mathematics, it is an odd composite number, with prime factorization 13^2 × 59. This means it is divisible by 13 (in fact by 13 twice) and by 59, and it is not a prime.

In other bases, 9971 has alternative representations: 0x26F3 in hexadecimal, 0b10011011110011 in binary, and 0o23363 in octal. These representations reflect the same value expressed in different numeral systems.

Geometrically or numerically, 9971 lies between 99^2 = 9801 and 100^2 = 10000, and it is not a perfect square. Its factorization shows a repeating prime factor (13) and a distinct prime factor (59), which accounts for its composite structure.

Beyond pure arithmetic, 9971 can appear as a catalog, product, or model number in various systems. However, it does not have a widely noted historical designation or a single, well-known significance beyond its role as a specific integer with the prime factorization 13^2 × 59.
