Hexa is a prefix derived from the Greek word for 6.
The binary equivalent would be... 1010101101011101 - There is a multi-functional calculator built-in to Windows which can covert numbers between Hex, Decimal, Octal and Binary.
latin
A shape with six sides is called a hexagon. You here is everywhere. In the latin term hexa- means six.
decimal
(159)decimal = (9F)HEX
It is C
0xFFEF + 1 = 0xFFF0.
That can't be an octal number; it has an 8 in it.
Hexa is a prefix derived from the Greek word for 6.
Hexa-decimal representation is given by, * 24 - 18 * 25 - 19 * 30 - 1E
The Greek prefix for 6 is "hexa-".
The prefix for one sixth is "hexa-."
Yes, hexa does mean 6. It is derived from the Greek word "hex" which means six.
You don't use binary because it's very hard reading a bunch of zeros and ones. You use hexa because each hexa digit corresponds to 4 bits, this makes it very easy to convert from hexa do binary and vice versa. For a similar reason you use octal because each digit corresponds to 3 binary digits. Example: 0101 10102 Has 8 binary digits so it will be 2 hexa digits: 01012 = 516 , 10102 = A16 So the full number will be: 0101 10102 = 5A16 This works for hexa and octal because 16 and 8 are powers of 2, it would also work for 4, 32, 64 or any other ower of 2 . Since 10 for decimal notation is not a power of 2 converting from binary is not so direct.
Hexa is a prefix meaning six. The most common words beginning with hexa have to do with 6-sided shapes. The polygon is a hexagon, and it can be described as hexagonal.
6 and 8, but: Hexa as in Hexa-Decimal mean 16 number system. ie: 0123456789ABCDEF : 16 digits. 10 decimal + 6 hexa. Octa as in a numbersystem mean 8 number system. ie: 01234567 : 8 digits. A Hexagon is a polygon with 6 sides. An Octagon has got 8 sides. Examples of numbers in these number systems: 10, 12, 14 =Decimal A, C, E = HexaDecimal 12, 14, 16 = OctaDecimal All representing the same number just in different systems. Additional information: We use the Decimal number system because it is by far the easiest to do calculations with. It has become a world wide standard. We use HexaDecimal and Binary in computers. Octa as in a number system has got no widespread uses as to my knowledge. It might be used in various coding schemes to make information less obviously visible.
