Why 922 is special

It defines the directed broadcast that Smurf amplification attacks later exploited, which is why routers now discard it by default.

Roman numerals

CMXXII uses the subtractive pair CM: a hundred before a thousand — a thousand minus a hundred.

Binary

1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0

1 × 512 + 1 × 256 + 1 × 128 + 0 × 64 + 0 × 32 + 1 × 16 + 1 × 8 + 0 × 4 + 1 × 2 + 0 × 1 = 922

Octal

1 6 3 2

1 × 512 + 6 × 64 + 3 × 8 + 2 × 1 = 922

Hexadecimal

3 9 a

3 × 256 + 9 × 16 + a × 1 = 922

Read as powers of two: 512 + 256 + 128 + 16 + 8 + 2 = 922.

In historical numeral systems

Egyptian

9 coils of rope, 2 hobbles, 2 strokes

9 × 100 + 2 × 10 + 2 × 1 = 922. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

Babylonian

1 corner wedge + 5 vertical wedges (sixties place), 2 corner wedges + 2 vertical wedges (units place)

15 × 60 + 22 = 922. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.

Greek (Ionic)

sampi, then kappa, then beta, marked as a numeral

sampi-kappa-beta + keraia

sampi + kappa + beta written in descending order and added — the letters carry their values wherever they stand, so this is addition, not place value.

Hebrew numerals

tav, then tav, then qof, then kaf, then bet

tav-tav-qof-kaf-bet

tav (400) + tav (400) + qof (100) + kaf (20) + bet (2) = 922, written in descending order.

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.

Technology & computing

  • RFC 922 specified broadcasting in the presence of subnets, including directed broadcast. Its use in Smurf amplification attacks led to routers disabling forwarding of such traffic by default.

Common questions

Is 922 a prime number?

No, 922 is not prime.

What are the factors of 922?

The factors of 922 are 1, 2, 461, 922.

What is 922 in Roman numerals?
