413
413 is the HTTP status code Content Too Large — the upload exceeds what the server will accept.

Where 413 fits
Why 413 is special
413 is the code behind almost every failed file upload. Servers and proxies set body-size limits independently, so a request can pass the application's own check and still be refused by a reverse proxy in front of it — which is why the limit that actually bites is often not the one in the code.
Not just a mathematical number
413is also used in ways where ordinary arithmetic doesn't apply — each listed below with what genuinely does and doesn't follow from it.
- Mathematical number
A genuine quantity — its mathematical properties (prime, square, factors, and so on) are real facts about it.
A genuine quantity that ordinary arithmetic applies to — it can be prime, even, a perfect square, added to another number meaningfully, and so on.
- Code
Also used as a code — HTTP status codes.
An assigned identifier from a fixed registry or standard — its digits don't represent an amount, and arithmetic on it is meaningless (HTTP status 404 + 1 is not a 'better' status; it's a different, unrelated code).

Roman numerals

CDXIII uses the subtractive pair CD: a hundred before five hundred — five hundred minus a hundred.
Binary
1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1
1 × 256 + 1 × 128 + 0 × 64 + 0 × 32 + 1 × 16 + 1 × 8 + 1 × 4 + 0 × 2 + 1 × 1 = 413
Octal
6 3 5
6 × 64 + 3 × 8 + 5 × 1 = 413
Hexadecimal
1 9 d
1 × 256 + 9 × 16 + d × 1 = 413
Read as powers of two: 256 + 128 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 1 = 413.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
4 coils of rope, 1 hobble, 3 strokes
4 × 100 + 1 × 10 + 3 × 1 = 413. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
6 vertical wedges (sixties place), 5 corner wedges + 3 vertical wedges (units place)
6 × 60 + 53 = 413. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
upsilon, then iota, then gamma, marked as a numeral
upsilon-iota-gamma + keraia
upsilon + iota + gamma written in descending order and added — the letters carry their values wherever they stand, so this is addition, not place value.
Hebrew numerals
tav, then yod, then gimel
tav-yod-gimel
tav (400) + yod (10) + gimel (3) = 413, written in descending order.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

Related numbers & connections
413 refuses a request body that exceeds a size limit — one that may be set by the application, the web server or a proxy in front of both.

why?
Strength 0.50, confidence "high".
Technology & computing
Body-size limits are set independently by the application, the web server and any reverse proxy in front of them. An upload can satisfy the code's own check and still be refused by a proxy configured years earlier, which is why 413 is so often debugged in the wrong layer first.

Common questions
Is 413 a prime number?
No, 413 is not prime.
What are the factors of 413?
The factors of 413 are 1, 7, 59, 413.
What is 413 in Roman numerals?
413 in Roman numerals is CDXIII. CD is subtractive: a hundred before five hundred — five hundred minus a hundred. Written additively it would be CCCCXIII, which Roman inscriptions used freely — the strict subtractive form is a later convention.
