hexadecimal numbers are the a positional numeral system with a radix, or base, of 16.16 distinct symbols are used in the hexadecimal numbers.
It is a representation of numbers using 16 as the base.

Hexadecimal
It is only true in the sense that any numeric base, expressed in that base, is represented with the symbol "10". Confusing? Let's clarify that. Hexadecimal numbers use sixteen as the base. But how do you express the value sixteen in hexadecimal? Quite easy, it would be written as "10". The same is true in any other base. For example, in binary (base two), the value two is expressed as "10". In octal (base eight), the value eight is expressed as "10". In decimal (our familiar base ten), the value ten is expressed as "10". No matter what base you work in, the base itself will always be expressed as "10". That however is not the same thing as saying that hexadecimal numbers are based on the number ten. That is incorrect. Hexadecimal numbers use the base sixteen.
Base 16 numbering is called 'Hex' or 'Hexadecimal'. Base 8 numbering is called 'Octal'. Base 2 numbering is called 'Binary'.
Hexadecimal is a way of writing base sixteen using the letters A-F to represent the numbers 10-15. In base 16, 43 is 2 sixteens and 11 ones, so it is 2B in hexadecimal, as B represents 11.
Prime numbers are prime numbers - whether we count in the decimal, binary, hexadecimal or another base.
There are infinitely many numbers - whatever the base - and they never end.

It is possible to have numbers in ANY base. Binary, octal and hexadecimal are used extensively in computers. Furthermore, the base can be any positive number - it does not even need to be rational.
Decimal is base 10. Binary is base 2. Octal is base 8. Hexadecimal is base 16.
