268435456

268,435,456 is a natural number that equals 2^28. In binary, it is written as a 1 followed by 28 zeros (1000000000000000000000000000000). In hexadecimal, it corresponds to 0x10000000.

As a byte quantity, 268,435,456 bytes is exactly 256 mebibytes (MiB), since 1 MiB is 2^20 bytes and 2^28 bytes = 2^8 × 2^20 = 256 × 2^20. This makes the value a common reference point in computing for memory sizes, cache allocations, and addressing schemes that use powers of two.

The number’s status as a power of two and its relation to MiB often appears in discussions about system memory capacity, virtual memory pages, and low-level data alignment. Its explicit representation in binary and hexadecimal forms reflects typical conventions in computer engineering for readability and precision.

Overall, 268,435,456 is notable primarily for its role as a convenient, round power-of-two quantity in digital systems, especially in contexts describing memory size and data storage.
