Without context, it is difficult to say.

I guess you are referring to number bases greater than 10 where letters are used to represent digits above 9; the first digit would be A, the second B and so on. In these cases the letter A is being used to represent 10 times the column value where it is. For example in hexadecimal, the A in 0x6A3 represents 10 x 16 = 160 in decimal (since it is in the sixteens column of the number).
