What is a Decimal System?

There are two main systems used in daily life: the decimal and the binary systems. The decimal and the binary systems. Decimal and binary. Both systems work from a base of 10 (radix). As such, it has ten symbols: 0 to 9. These are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Understanding Binary Numbers.

What is a Hexadecimal System (Hex System)?

The hexadecimal system (shortly hex) uses 16 as its base (radix). 16 symbols are used to represent the base-16 numeral system. It consists of the first six letters of the English alphabet (A, B, C, D, E, F) and the first ten decimal digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). Because of the need to represent each of the values 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 in one single symbol, the letters are used.
Hex is a more user-friendly method of representing binary numbers in mathematics and information technology. The hex digit represents four binary digits, which is why hex is a language to write binary in an abbreviated form.
