0xAB2

0xAB2 is a hexadecimal value. In decimal representation, it is equivalent to 2738. This value can appear in various contexts, including computer programming, memory addresses, and data representation. When working with hexadecimal numbers, it is important to understand their relationship to other number systems, particularly decimal and binary. The prefix "0x" is a common convention used in many programming languages to denote that the subsequent digits are in hexadecimal format.

The hexadecimal system, also known as base-16, uses sixteen distinct symbols. These symbols are the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through F. The letters A through F represent the decimal values 10 through 15, respectively. Therefore, in the value 0xAB2, the digit 'A' represents 10, 'B' represents 11, and '2' represents 2. The place values in hexadecimal are powers of 16. So, 0xAB2 can be calculated in decimal as (10 * 16^2) + (11 * 16^1) + (2 * 16^0), which equals (10 * 256) + (11 * 16) + (2 * 1) = 2560 + 176 + 2 = 2738.
