| How to Do Hexadecimal, Base 16 Number System Conversions. Includes Examples. |
Hexadecimal (base 16) is the primary base numbering system used by computer programmers. Hex code is used in everything from core dumps to color codes and everything in-between.
Per the introduction, base 10 has ten numbers (0-9) and orders of magnitude that are times ten. The orders of magnitude are l, 10, 100 (10x10) , 1000 (10x10x10), etc.
An example would be the number 5681. This number means there are:
- one 1’s,
- eight 10’s,
- six 100’s,
- and five 1000’s.
Base 16 uses the same base 10 structure, the only difference being the orders of magnitude.

1048576 · 65536 · 4096 · 256 · 16 · 1Base 16 aka hex has sixteen numbers (0-F). The first ten numbers are the usual 0 thru 9. The next six numbers are A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15.
Altogether we have:
0=0, 1=1, 2=2, 3=3, 4=4, 5=5, 6=6, 7=7, 8=8, 9=9,
A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15.
A basic, first example of a hexadecimal number would be the base 16 number 11111. This would mean there is:
- one 1,
- one 16,
- one 256,
- one 4096,
- and one 65536.
Another base 16 example would be the hex number 5C7F. This number means there are:
- fifteen 1’s,
- seven 16’s,
- twelve 256’s,
- and five 4096’s.
Another base 16 example would be the hex number D24A. This number means there are:
- ten 1’s,
- four 16’s,
- two 256’s,
- and thirteen 4096’s.
