Understanding the Conversion
Hexadecimal is base-16, using digits 0-9 and letters A-F. Each 4-bit binary value maps directly to a single hex digit:
00002 = 016
10102 = A16
11112 = F16
Example
Binary | Hex |
---|---|
0100 0001 | 41 |
01101000 | 68 |
01100101 | 65 |
Why Use Hexadecimal?
Binary (base-2) uses only 0s and 1s. Computers use binary internally to represent all data, including ASCII characters.
Hexadecimal is easier to read and write than binary and more compact. It's widely used in programming, color codes, memory dumps, and low-level debugging.
