Data representation in computers

Consider the Number 132, if we gave this number to a computer, it would convert it to BINARY (base 2)

Binary is made up of Zeroes and Ones. Binary is usually represented in 8 bits, or digits, Binary Table.

Large, isn’t it? for simplicity we can use another format, Hexadecimal, or (Base 16).

Hexadecimal uses numbers 0-9, then A-F.
- A = 10 - B = 11 - C = 12 - D = 13 - E = 14 - F = 15

Try 65 in Hexadecimal

65 / 16 = 4r1

Therefore 65 in Hex is 41
