0x000004C8

0x000004C8 is a hexadecimal integer literal commonly used in computing to denote a specific numeric value. The leading zeros indicate a fixed-width representation, often seen in contexts where 32-bit values are shown, even though the numeric value does not require all those digits.

As a numeric value, 0x000004C8 corresponds to 1224 in decimal. In binary, it is 00000000 00000000 00000100 11001000. Hexadecimal notation uses the prefix 0x, with digits 0–9 and A–F, where 0x4C8 and 0x000004C8 represent the same value; the extra leading zeros are purely a formatting convention.

Common uses for such a hex literal include representing constants in source code, memory offsets, sizes, or identifiers in low-level programming and debugging. In low-level languages like C or C++, it may be used to initialize a 32-bit unsigned integer, define a bitmask, or specify a byte offset within a data structure or binary file. In debugging and reverse engineering, developers may encounter 0x000004C8 as a reference to a particular address, offset, or constant value depending on the inspected context.

Because the meaning of 0x000004C8 is context-dependent, there is no single universal interpretation beyond its status as a numeric constant. Its practical significance arises from how it is used within a specific program, protocol, or data format rather than from the hex value alone.
