0374 is a four-digit numeric string that can denote several different things depending on context. In decimal notation, it represents the integer 374. In other contexts, particularly in computing, a leading zero can indicate an octal (base-8) literal, in which case 0374 denotes the octal value equal to decimal 252.

In mathematics, 374 is an even composite number. Its prime factorization is 2 × 11 × 17. Its digits sum to 14, giving a digital root of 5. In different bases, 374 decimal equals 0x176 in hexadecimal and 101110110 in binary. The octal interpretation 0374 equals 252 decimal and 0o374 equals 252 decimal, with binary 11111100.

In programming and data formats, 0374 may appear as an octal literal in languages that use a leading-zero convention (for example older C variants); many modern languages use a 0o prefix (as in 0o374) or otherwise avoid leading zeros in numeric literals. As a string, 0374 can serve as a product code, a serial identifier, or a model number, though such uses may vary by organization.

As a year, 374 CE denotes a point in late antiquity; it is used in historical timelines and chronologies that label years with CE notation.
