A hexidecimal numeral system is most commonly used by software designers for computer systems. This is due to the need to group numbers together in computers.
The hexadecimal system is base 16.
hexadecimal numbers are the a positional numeral system with a radix, or base, of 16.16 distinct symbols are used in the hexadecimal numbers.
n isn't used in the hexadecimal system, any more than it's used in decimal (everyday) numbers.

hexadecimal
the octal numbering system is not used for dealing it was once used for computers but has been replaced with binary and hexadecimal because of its complexity and how it does not relate to binary at all hexadecimal and binary go together way better...
0 - 9 plus A - F
There are many types of number systems. The common one is base-10. Base-2 is used in computer language and so is the hexadecimal system which is a Base-16 system.
Computers do much of their processing in binary. Hexadecimal is used as a kind of shortcut (easier to read for humans): each hexadecimal digit represents four binary digits.
Everyday mathematical calculations are all done in the decimal system.Ex: $5 + $6 = $11. The answer would be B in the hexadecimal system.
The hexadecimal system is a base 16 system, just as binary is base 2 and decimal is base 10. The same way that a binary system is more practical for hardware and software implications, hexadecimal is great for easy viewing of binary numbers. It's a lot easier, in the opinion of most, to look at 1FE4 than it is to get the same information as quickly from 0001111111100100. Hexadecimal numbers can also be easily converted to the seven segment display commonly used on electric signs and scoreboards to display numbers and some letters.
The color charts many see on the web are HTML codes which contain both numbers and letters. The simplest answer is that both the numbers and letters are used in the hexadecimal numeral system. For example, FF in hexadecimal equals 255.
