0x428A

0x428A is a hexadecimal number, which is a base-16 numeral system. In the decimal system, 0x428A is equivalent to 17034. Hexadecimal notation is commonly used in computing and digital electronics. Each hexadecimal digit represents four bits, or a nibble. This makes it a convenient shorthand for representing binary data, as it is more compact than binary and easier for humans to read and write. The digits used in hexadecimal are 0-9 and A-F, where A represents 10, B represents 11, C represents 12, D represents 13, E represents 14, and F represents 15.

In the context of programming or data representation, 0x428A might appear as a memory address, a color code, or a constant value. For example, in some programming languages, hexadecimal literals are prefixed with "0x" to distinguish them from decimal numbers. Without further context, 0x428A is simply a numerical value. Its significance would depend entirely on the system or application in which it is used. Understanding hexadecimal is crucial for tasks such as debugging low-level code, analyzing network packets, or working with hardware registers.
