The main reason why we use hexadecimal numbers is because it is much easier to express binary number representations in hex than it is in any other base number system. Computers do not actually work in hex (donât laugh, beginning students do ask that question). Lets look at an example, using a byte.
Computers store text as numbers, and with hex you display the numbers not as a decimal number, but in base 16. Hex or base 16 or hexadecimal is a numeral system that uses 16 symbols. The symbols include 0-9 and a-f (sometimes A-F). An example of a hexadecimal number is 3BF2.
