It has to do with scientific notation. We are more familiar with 74e6, where this is 74 times 10 to the 6th power or 74 times 1000000 or 74000000.
The "d" instead of an "e" indicates an integer instead of a real number.

I've got problem with the IsNumeric function in ColdFusion. I've got a page set up with a form on it. On the page this form calls I am doing validation to make sure the entered value is numeric by using the IsNumeric function - IsNumeric(form.variable) If I pass in a value like 74d6, it passes this validation and when I do an output on the variable it's coming out as 74,000,000. Anyone have an idea of why? Does it have something to do with the hex value? If I pass in the value 74a6 it works fine and the validation fails. I'm wanting to make sure the form field is a number and there is no character data in it. For this situation I can't use the input to do the validations.
