5f4

5f4 is a hexadecimal number, which is a base-16 numeral system used in computing and digital electronics. In hexadecimal, the digits range from 0 to 9 and then from A to F, where A represents 10, B represents 11, and so on up to F, which represents 15. The number 5f4 in hexadecimal can be converted to decimal by evaluating each digit's position and multiplying it by 16 raised to the power of its position index, starting from the right (where the rightmost digit is at position 0). Therefore, 5f4 in hexadecimal is equivalent to (5 * 16^2) + (15 * 16^1) + (4 * 16^0), which equals 1524 in decimal. Hexadecimal is commonly used in computer science for representing binary-coded values in a more human-readable form, such as memory addresses, color codes in web design, and error codes.
