Key Points

• The hexadecimal number system consists of the symbols 0 - 9, A - F.
• Hexadecimal uses decimal numbers and six extra symbols.
• There are no numerical symbols that represent values greater than nine, so letters taken from the English alphabet are used, specifically A, B, C, D, E, and F, where Hexadecimal A = decimal 10, and hexadecimal F = decimal 15.
• A binary number is just a string of zeros and ones: 11011011.
• Three bits, each being on or off, can represent the eight numbers from 0 to 7, this is known as the octal number system.

• Steps to Convert Binary to Hex:
  • ​Start from the least significant bit (LSB) at the right of the binary number and divide it up into groups of 4 digits. (4 digital bits is called a "nibble").
  • Convert each group of 4 binary digits to its equivalent hex value (see table above).
  • Concatenate the results together, giving the total hex number.
•  The binary code is given in question 1101 1110 0001 ⇒ DE1₁₆
