0x1587

0x1587 is a hexadecimal numeral used in computing to denote the integer value 0x1587, which equals 5511 in decimal. The prefix 0x is a common indicator in many programming languages (such as C, C++, Java, and Python) that the following digits are in base-16.

Its binary representation is 0001 0101 1000 0111, corresponding to the four hexadecimal digits 1, 5, 8, and 7. The decimal value 5511 factors as 3 × 11 × 167, with 3, 11, and 167 being prime numbers.

In practical terms, 0x1587 often appears as a numeric literal in source code, used for memory addresses, offsets, bit masks, or other low-level operations where hexadecimal notation aids readability of binary patterns. For example, it may appear in code that performs bitwise operations or as a constant in data structures.

In a little-endian memory layout, the 16-bit value 0x1587 would be stored with the least-significant byte first, i.e., as 0x87 followed by 0x15. This behavior depends on the system’s endianness and the language or platform used.

Overall, 0x1587 is primarily a representation choice for the integer 5511, valued for its compact, human-readable alignment with binary bit patterns common in computing.
