0x14BA

0x14BA is a hexadecimal notation representing the integer value 5306 in decimal. The 0x prefix is standard in many programming languages to indicate base-16 numbers, distinguishing them from decimal literals.

In binary, 0x14BA equals 0001 0100 1011 1010, a 16-bit pattern. Its prime factorization is 2 × 7 × 379, indicating that 5306 is an even composite number. These representations make 0x14BA useful for bit-level operations, masking, and low-level data interpretation in software and hardware contexts.

In software development, literals such as 0x14BA are common for constants, offsets, and bit masks. They may appear in debugging output, configuration data, or source code where hexadecimal notation provides a compact view of binary patterns. When used as a memory address, the exact meaning depends on the program, architecture, and addressing mode, and is typically interpreted within a specific context rather than as a standalone universal value.

Because 0x14BA is four hexadecimal digits long, it is usually used to denote a relatively small value—often an offset or a mask in low-level code. If extended to a full 24-bit color or 32-bit address representation, it could be embedded as part of a larger value such as 0x0014BA or 0x000014BA, but its standalone four-digit form is most commonly seen in technical contexts involving precise binary data.
