0x9A7

0x9A7 is a hexadecimal numeral commonly used in computing to denote the base-16 value represented by the digits 9, A, and 7. The prefix 0x indicates hex notation, which provides a compact way to express binary data and constants. In decimal, 0x9A7 equals 2471, and in binary it is 100110100111.

Because it is a numeric literal, 0x9A7 has no intrinsic meaning beyond its numeric value; its interpretation depends on the surrounding code. It can serve as a constant, a bitmask, a memory address offset, an identifier in a lookup table, or any other value as required by the program or system.

Most programming languages parse 0x9A7 as an unsigned or positive integer. The actual storage width—such as 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits—depends on the language, the data type used, and the platform. The value remains 2471 regardless of how many bits are used to store it.

Common uses include defining configuration constants, enabling bitwise operations for flag management, or specifying offsets and addresses in low-level code. 0x9A7 is one of many hexadecimal literals that programmers employ to express values in a way that aligns with binary data representations and hardware interfaces.
