Problem
Solutions: Hexadecimal: A number system using a base (radix) of 16. Hexadecimal numbers require 16 digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F, while decimal numbers are base ten. When counting in hexadecimal, you don't carry over the next place until you reach the first number past F. This differs in decimal numbers since you carry over when you reach the number past 9. Programmers use hexadecimal numbers as a convenient way of representing binary numbers. Binary numbers are inconvenient to use since they use a base or radix of 2, and you must carry over to the next place when you reach the first number past one. Although binary numbers are ideally suited to the devices used in computers, they grow in length quickly. In binary, for example, the decimal number 16 requires four places (1111). A four-digit set of binary numbers, can have 16 possible combinations of 1s and 0s. Hexadecimal numbers provide a convenient way to represent four-digit clumps of binary numbers.
