The decimal system has only ten distinct symbols: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Mathematics can involve calculation in other bases - one that is not so rare is the hexadecimal system - which is base 16. You need 16 distinct symbols for the hexadecimal system and so you use A, B, C, D, E and F along with the decimal digits.
