425
HTTP 425 Too Early means the server declines to process a request that might be replayed.

Where 425 fits
Why 425 is special
425 exists because TLS 1.3 added a speed optimisation with a security cost. Early data lets a client send a request before the handshake completes, but that data can be captured and replayed, so a server returns 425 rather than risk executing a repeated payment or order twice.
Not just a mathematical number
425is 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
C D X X V
CDXXV uses the subtractive pair CD: a hundred before five hundred — five hundred minus a hundred.
Binary
1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1
1 × 256 + 1 × 128 + 0 × 64 + 1 × 32 + 0 × 16 + 1 × 8 + 0 × 4 + 0 × 2 + 1 × 1 = 425
Octal
6 5 1
6 × 64 + 5 × 8 + 1 × 1 = 425
Hexadecimal
1 a 9
1 × 256 + a × 16 + 9 × 1 = 425
Read as powers of two: 256 + 128 + 32 + 8 + 1 = 425.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
4 coils of rope, 2 hobbles, 5 strokes
4 × 100 + 2 × 10 + 5 × 1 = 425. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
7 vertical wedges (sixties place), 5 vertical wedges (units place)
7 × 60 + 5 = 425. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
upsilon, then kappa, then epsilon, marked as a numeral
upsilon-kappa-epsilon + keraia
upsilon + kappa + epsilon 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 kaf, then he
tav-kaf-he
tav (400) + kaf (20) + he (5) = 425, 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
425 declines a request sent as TLS early data, which an attacker could capture and replay.
Both concern how a connection is established rather than what is being asked for — one refuses data sent too early in a TLS handshake, the other demands a different protocol entirely.

Technology & computing
TLS 1.3 lets a client send data before the handshake finishes, which saves a round trip and makes that data replayable by anyone who captured it. 425 is a server refusing to act on it — the right answer when replaying the request would mean charging a card or placing an order twice.

Common questions
Is 425 a prime number?
No, 425 is not prime.
What are the factors of 425?
The factors of 425 are 1, 5, 17, 25, 85, 425.
What is 425 in Roman numerals?
425 in Roman numerals is CDXXV. CD is subtractive: a hundred before five hundred — five hundred minus a hundred. Written additively it would be CCCCXXV, which Roman inscriptions used freely — the strict subtractive form is a later convention.
