sprintf and "most efficient" rarely belong in the same sentence. :-)
I believe this is going to "win" almost any efficiency test, and is
reasonably self-documenting/clear:
$dec = 23602210718;
$hex = dechex($dec);
echo implode(' ', chunk_split($hex, 2));
Note that dechex only supports numbers up to 0xFFFFFFFF
In older PHP versions, I believe the limit was lower than that. 0x7FFFFFFF
perhaps, based on the user notes.
