0×216

0x216 is a hexadecimal representation of a number. In decimal form, it is equal to 534. This value can be interpreted in various contexts depending on the system or application where it appears. For instance, in programming, it might represent a color code, a memory address, an error code, or a specific data value. Without additional context, its precise meaning remains ambiguous.

The hexadecimal system, also known as base-16, uses sixteen distinct symbols. These are the digits 0-9 and the letters A-F, where A represents 10, B represents 11, C represents 12, D represents 13, E represents 14, and F represents 15. The number 0x216 breaks down as follows: the '2' is in the 16^2 position (256), the '1' is in the 16^1 position (16), and the '6' is in the 16^0 position (1). Therefore, 2 * 256 + 1 * 16 + 6 * 1 = 512 + 16 + 6 = 534.

In computing, hexadecimal is often used as a shorthand for binary representations because it is easier for humans to read and write. Each hexadecimal digit corresponds to exactly four binary digits (bits). For example, 0x2 in binary is 0010, 0x1 is 0001, and 0x6 is 0110. Concatenating these gives the binary representation of 0x216, which is 001000010110. This can be simplified to 1000010110 in binary. The interpretation of this binary sequence depends entirely on the data it represents.
