(For the six-sided shape, see Hexagon.)
Hexadecimal (十六進法, hexadecimal) is a Korean: 기수법 (numeral system) with sixteen as its base.
It usually uses the digits 0 through 9 and the Roman letters A through F, and is case-insensitive. Four binary digits correspond one-to-one with one hexadecimal digit, so it is widely used in place of binary on computers, where binary is common.
One byte is 8 bits, i.e. 8 binary digits, so it can be represented with two hexadecimal digits.
