Hexadecimal
is a number system thatis made up of
16
digits,
10
numbers (0-9) and
6
letters (A-F)
Each digit has a weight factor of
16
raised to a power, the right most digit is 1s (
16^0
),the next digit to the left 16s (
16^1
)
Hex
is useful because large
numbers
can be represented using
fewer
digits.
It is beneficial to use
hexadecimal
over
binary
because:
The more
bits
there are in a
binary
number, the
harder
it is to
read
Numbers with more
bits
are more prone to
errors
when being
copied
