Hexadecimal Number System
O Each position of a digit represents a specific power of the base (16). O Since there are only 16 digits, 4 bits (24 = 16) are sufficient to represent any hexadecimal number in binary. Example 1AF16 = (1 x 162) + (A x 161) + (F x 160) = 1 x 256 + 10 x 16 + 15 x 1 = 256 + 160 + 15 = 43110
