0x03E0

0x03E0 is a hexadecimal number, which is a base-16 numeral system used in computing and digital electronics. In hexadecimal, the digits range from 0 to 9 and the letters A to F, where A represents 10, B represents 11, and so on up to F, which represents 15. The prefix "0x" is commonly used to denote a hexadecimal number in programming and digital contexts.

The hexadecimal number 0x03E0 can be converted to decimal by evaluating each digit's contribution to the total value. Starting from the rightmost digit (which represents the least significant value), each digit is multiplied by 16 raised to the power of its position index, starting from 0. For 0x03E0, this would be:

(0 * 16^3) + (3 * 16^2) + (14 * 16^1) + (0 * 16^0)

Calculating this gives:

0 + (3 * 256) + (14 * 16) + 0 = 768 + 224 = 992

Therefore, 0x03E0 in hexadecimal is equivalent to 992 in decimal. This conversion is useful in various fields such as computer programming, digital electronics, and data representation, where hexadecimal is often used due to its compactness and direct correspondence to binary numbers.
