 EXPLANATION OF BASE 16
(HEXADECIMAL NUMBER SYSTEM)

The hexadecimal number system is a type of

number system, that has a base value equal to 16.
Hexadecimal numbers are represented by only 16
symbols. These symbols or values are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E and F.

Hexadecimal is used as an intermediate step

between binary and denary because it is easier for
a computer to convert between binary and
hexadecimal than between binary and denary *Binary : Base 2
Uses of Base 16:
1) To display error messages. Hexadecimals are used to define
the memory location of the error. This is useful for
programmers in finding and fixing errors.
2) To define colours on web pages. Each primary colour – red,
green and blue is characterised by two hexadecimal digits.
3) To define locations in memory. Hexadecimals can
characterise every byte as two hexadecimal digits only
compared to eight digits when using binary.
