Hexadecimal number system is a number sytem with a Base of 16. The 'regular' system which we use every day is base-ten (decimal), with the digits 0-9.
Having a base 16 system makes it easier to represent values of computer memory, as computers deal in binary (base 2), where every value is either one or zero (on or off).
With hexadecimal, the digit values range from zero to fifteen, so symbols are needed to represent ten, eleven, ... fifteen as single digits. The letters A through F were chosen, so:
Hexadecimal is simply short-hand for binary numbers. Because hexadecimal is base 16 or 24 , every 4 binary bits can be expressed as a single hexadecimal character. For example, 1110 is E in hexadecimal and 1111 0011 1000 1010 is written as F38A in hexadecimal. Writing memory addresses, binary code, or IP addresses in hexadecimal results in number which has 75% less characters.
The hexadecimal system uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols 0-9 to represent values zero to nine, and A, B, C, D, E, F to represent values ten to fifteen. When dealing with large values the hexadecimal system solves this problem and it is simple to convert a hex digits into a binary digits.
The decimal system we normally use is base 10. That means that each position has 10 times the place-value of the digit to the right of it.Binary is base 2. Hexadecimal is base 16.
base 2
If the above is decimal then in hexadecimal it is 2964492C2. If it is binary then in hexadecimal it is 7DA. If it is octal then in hexadecimal it is 49241208.
The hexadecimal for 14 is the letter E.
60 in hexadecimal would be 3C
the binary system is base 2 and the hexadecimal system is base 16

The decimal number 11 is equal to the hexadecimal number B.

Base 16 numbering is called 'Hex' or 'Hexadecimal'. Base 8 numbering is called 'Octal'. Base 2 numbering is called 'Binary'.
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...
