0x48B

0x48B is a hexadecimal representation of a number. In decimal, this is equivalent to 1163. The prefix "0x" is a common convention in many programming languages and contexts to denote that the following digits are in base 16. The digits themselves, 4, 8, and B, are valid hexadecimal digits, with B representing the decimal value of 11. Therefore, 0x48B can be interpreted as (4 * 16^2) + (8 * 16^1) + (11 * 16^0), which calculates to (4 * 256) + (8 * 16) + (11 * 1), resulting in 1024 + 128 + 11, ultimately equaling 1163 in base 10. This notation is frequently encountered in computer science for memory addresses, color codes, or other data representations where hexadecimal is more convenient than decimal due to its compact nature and relationship with binary (each hexadecimal digit corresponds to exactly four binary digits).
