Hexadecimal, or hex, is a positional numeral system with base 16. Its common convention uses digits 0 through 9 and letters A through F for values 10 through 15. It is widely used in computing because computer hardware is binary and 16 is a power of 2. Each hexadecimal digit represents four contiguous bits, called a nibble.
