with hexidecimal you neednt use as many chartictors to represent a number. in binary 15 would be 01111 where as in hex it would be E resulting in much quicker coding times
The base-2 (binary) system is simpler than a system based on any higher integer. In a way, it is the simplest possible number system.
The binary system requires only two digits. It is, therefore, simpler to code numbers for electrical, electronic or optical data storage systems.
To convert a decimal number to binary, you divide the decimal number by 2 and write down the remainder. Then, divide the quotient by 2 and write down the remainder again. Repeat this process until the quotient is 0. The binary number is the remainders read in reverse order.
Disadvantages of the binary number system include: Writing very large numbers would be time consuming You could also get confused when trying to read very large numbers containing a long line of 1s and 0s Advantages of the binary number system could include: Fewer number characters are needed when writing out numbers
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.
