0x487E

0x487E is a hexadecimal literal commonly encountered in computing and digital representations. The prefix 0x indicates that the following characters are base-16 digits, and in this case the value consists of two bytes: 0x48 and 0x7E.

As a numeric value, 0x487E converts to decimal 18558. In binary, it corresponds to 01001000 01111110, a compact form often used for low-level data manipulation, bit flags, or as a small part of a larger data structure. In source code, such a literal can serve as a constant, an opcode, a memory offset, or a component of a composite identifier within a program.

In blockchain and smart contract contexts, 0x-prefixed strings frequently denote addresses, hashes, or function selectors. However, a four-hex-digit value like 0x487E is typically not a complete address in standard networks (for example, Ethereum addresses are 40 hexadecimal characters long, excluding the 0x). More commonly, 0x487E would be encountered as part of a larger address or as a short, illustrative example in documentation and tutorials.

The precise interpretation of 0x487E therefore depends on the surrounding context: as a literal in code, as a fragment of data in a protocol, or as an example value in instructional material. Without additional context, it represents a small hexadecimal quantity that can play many roles in software, hardware, or data-encoding scenarios.
