0x514

0x514 is a hexadecimal numeric literal used in computing to denote the integer value 1300 in decimal. The prefix 0x is a common convention in many programming languages, including C, C++, JavaScript, and Python, to indicate that the following digits are in base 16 rather than decimal.

In decimal form, 0x514 equals 1300. Its binary representation is 10100010100. The prime factorization of 1300 is 2^2 × 5^2 × 13, reflecting its composition from powers of two, five, and thirteen. Hexadecimal values like 0x514 are often chosen in technical contexts because hex provides a compact way to express and read binary bit patterns, which can be convenient for low-level programming, memory addressing, and debugging.

Common uses and notes: 0x514, like other hex literals, may appear in source code as a constant, an offset, an address component, or part of a bitwise operation. While it does not carry a universally known meaning on its own, it serves as a concrete example of how hexadecimal notation maps to decimal and binary representations. The concept of 0x514 illustrates broader principles of base conversion and the role of hex literals in software development.
