0x5B7

0x5B7 is a hexadecimal numeral commonly seen in computing. Interpreted as a base-16 value, it equals decimal 1463 and binary 10110110111.

In many programming languages that adopt the C-style prefix for hex literals, 0x5B7 denotes this exact value. The 0x prefix signals to the compiler or interpreter that the digits that follow are hexadecimal rather than decimal. Such literals are used for memory addresses, bit masks, and compact representations of data, especially when interfacing with hardware or performing low-level bitwise operations.

The same value can be expressed in different forms: decimal 1463 and binary 10110110111. The hexadecimal digits involved are 5, B (11), and 7, illustrating how 0x5B7 fits within typical 16- or smaller-bit representations used in various programming contexts. In some documentation or code, the value may be written with leading zeros for alignment, such as 0x05B7, but the underlying value remains 1463.

0x5B7 is primarily of interest as an example of a hex literal rather than as a specific, widely recognized identifier. It is representative of how hexadecimal notation operates in computing and explains why many languages provide a 0x-prefixed syntax for non-decimal literals.
