Math for Non-Math Majors
Hexadecimal is a base-16 number system that uses sixteen symbols: the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F to represent values from zero to fifteen. This system is commonly used in computing and digital electronics because it is more compact than binary, allowing for easier representation of binary-coded values. Each hexadecimal digit corresponds to four binary digits (bits), making it particularly useful for simplifying binary representation and making conversions more manageable.
