    • 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:
    1. The more bits there are in a binary number, the harder it is to read
    2. Numbers with more bits are more prone to errors when being copied
    Examples of where hexadecimal can be seen:
    1. MAC addresses
    2. colour values
