What is the purpose of the hexadecimal numbering system?
Hexadecimal number system is a number sytem with a Base of 16. The 'regular' system which we use every day is base-ten (decimal), with the digits 0-9.Having a base 16 system makes it easier to represent values of computer memory, as computers deal in binary (base 2), where every value is either one or zero (on or off).With hexadecimal, the digit values range from zero to fifteen, so symbols are needed to represent ten, eleven, ... fifteen as single digits. The letters A through F were chosen, so:A represents tenB = elevenC = twelveD = thirteenE = fourteenF = fifteen
What is the basic numbering system that a computer uses to represent How is it used?
The binary digits. 10 = 2
Why there is need to study octal and hexidecimaln the digital machine understands only binary code?
Because the octal number sytem is more useful for writing and clearer to read. Also, we're only using the binary system since the invention of computers which is not that long ago. Before that, there was no reason to use a binary system which is again not easy to read.
Which number system is usually followed in 64 bit computer?
2 (i.e., 0 or 1)
What is the value of x in hexadecimal?
