302
302 is the HTTP status code for a temporary redirect — the resource is elsewhere for now.

Where 302 fits
Why 302 is special
302 says 'look over here, but keep asking here'. It is the right answer for a login redirect or a maintenance page and the wrong one for a permanent move, because search engines keep indexing the original URL. The distinction between 301 and 302 is small in code and large in consequence.
Not just a mathematical number
302is also used in ways where ordinary arithmetic doesn't apply — each listed below with what genuinely does and doesn't follow from it.
- Mathematical number
A genuine quantity — its mathematical properties (prime, square, factors, and so on) are real facts about it.
A genuine quantity that ordinary arithmetic applies to — it can be prime, even, a perfect square, added to another number meaningfully, and so on.
- Code
Also used as a code — HTTP status codes.
An assigned identifier from a fixed registry or standard — its digits don't represent an amount, and arithmetic on it is meaningless (HTTP status 404 + 1 is not a 'better' status; it's a different, unrelated code).

Binary
1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0
1 × 256 + 0 × 128 + 0 × 64 + 1 × 32 + 0 × 16 + 1 × 8 + 1 × 4 + 1 × 2 + 0 × 1 = 302

4 × 64 + 5 × 8 + 6 × 1 = 302
Hexadecimal
1 2 e
1 × 256 + 2 × 16 + e × 1 = 302
Read as powers of two: 256 + 32 + 8 + 4 + 2 = 302.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
3 coils of rope, 2 strokes
3 × 100 + 2 × 1 = 302. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
5 vertical wedges (sixties place), 2 vertical wedges (units place)
5 × 60 + 2 = 302. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
tau, then beta, marked as a numeral
tau-beta + keraia
tau + beta written in descending order and added — the letters carry their values wherever they stand, so this is addition, not place value.
Hebrew numerals
shin, then bet
shin-bet
shin (300) + bet (2) = 302, written in descending order.
Maya
3 bars (upper, twenties place) over 2 dots (lower, units place)
15 × 20 + 2 = 302. Places stack vertically with the smallest at the bottom, so the upper group is worth twenty times the lower.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

Related numbers & connections
302 marks a temporary redirect, leaving the original URL canonical.
The single most consequential choice in redirect configuration. 301 says the move is permanent and passes search authority on; 302 says it is temporary and keeps the original canonical. Using 302 for a permanent migration is a documented way to lose search traffic.
View 301 →Technology & computing
302 is correct wherever the destination genuinely changes per request or per session — a login flow sending you onward, a maintenance page, an A/B split. Its defining property is that the original URL stays canonical, which is exactly what makes it wrong for a permanent move.
