0xBA7

0xBA7 is a hexadecimal literal used in computing to denote the integer value with the 0x prefix indicating base-16 notation. The digits B, A, and 7 are valid hexadecimal digits, representing the values 11, 10, and 7 respectively. In many programming languages, such as C, C++, and JavaScript, 0xBA7 is written exactly as shown to specify a constant in hex.

In decimal form, 0xBA7 equals 2983. Its binary representation is 1011 1010 0111, which corresponds to a 12-bit value (three hex digits). The number lies within the range 0x000 to 0xFFF, a common width for compact hex constants and bitwise operations that align with nibble boundaries.

The decimal value 2983 factors to 19 × 157, with both factors prime. While this factorization is a mathematical note rather than a programming requirement, it illustrates that not all hex values map to prime numbers or simple patterns.

Uses and context: 0xBA7 is commonly used as a numeric constant in source code, especially in low-level programming, graphics, and hardware interfacing where hex notation offers readability for bit masks, offsets, and register values. In documentation and examples, 0xBA7 serves as a representative hex value to demonstrate formatting and conversions between bases. If interpreted as a CSS three-digit color shorthand, BA7 expands to the six-digit color #BBAA77, though this is a contextual interpretation rather than a numeric property.
