0x461

0x461 is a hexadecimal representation of a number. In decimal form, 0x461 is equal to 1121. The "0x" prefix signifies that the number is written in base 16, also known as hexadecimal. Hexadecimal is a base-16 numeral system that uses sixteen distinct symbols, typically the digits 0-9 and the letters A-F. Each hexadecimal digit represents a power of 16.

In the case of 0x461, the digits are interpreted as follows: 4 16^2 + 6 16^1 + 1 16^0. This calculation results in (4 256) + (6 16) + (1 1), which equals 1024 + 96 + 1, totaling 1121.

Hexadecimal notation is commonly used in computing, particularly in areas such as memory addressing, color codes (e.g., in HTML and CSS), and data representation. It provides a more compact and human-readable way to represent binary data, as each hexadecimal digit can represent four binary digits (bits). For instance, the binary representation of 0x461 is 10001100001. The hexadecimal system is a useful bridge between the binary systems computers use and the decimal systems humans are accustomed to.
