Of course, a similar approach can be applied to hex. However, this time there are
more digits than in decimal. Now, counting to “9” is the same as in decimal, but it
is possible to continue on with “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” “E,” and “F.” It is only once “F” is
exceeded that a new placeholder is required, and it will of course have a value
sixteen times that of the placeholder to its right. If we use our example of “10” again,
the “1” is worth sixteen, so the number represented in this case is sixteen.
Approaching “10” with the above method in hex:
10 = (1*sixteen) + (0*one) = sixteen
Yet another proof that “10” does not always mean “ten.” Here are other hex
examples:
23 h
= (2*16) + (3*1)
= 32 + 3
= 35
210 h
= (2*256) + (1*16) + (0*1)
= 512 + 16 + 0
= 528
7FE h
= (7*256) + (15*16) + (14*1)
= 1792 + 240 + 14
= 2046
