0617

0617 is a four-digit string that, when leading zeros are not considered, corresponds to the decimal number 617. The presence of a leading zero is common in contexts that require fixed-width numeric codes, identifiers, or formatted data.

In mathematics, 617 is a prime number. Its Roman numeral representation is DCXVII.

In computing, a literal such as 0617 may be interpreted as an octal (base-8) value in languages with C-style syntax; octal 0617 equals decimal 399. This use of a leading zero as an indicator of octal representation is largely language-specific and not universal.

In chronology, 0617 can denote the year 617 CE, a point in the early medieval period. As a date, formats such as 06/17 reflect locale conventions for month-day ordering, while 17/06 would reflect day-month ordering in other regions.

In information systems, 0617 is used as a fixed-width code or identifier in inventories, product catalogs, postal and routing references, and other datasets where uniform digit counts aid sorting and matching. Its utility lies in compactly encoding a discrete item, location, or category within a broader coding scheme.
