In mathematics and computing, hexadecimal (also base 16, or hex) is a positional numeral system with a radix, or base, of 16. It uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols 0–9 to represent values zero to nine, and A, B, C, D, E, F (or alternatively a, b, c, d, e, f) to represent values ten to fifteen.

| 4 | = 4 | e | = e |
| 5 | = 5 | f | = f |
| 6 | = 6 | 10 | = g |
| 7 | = 7 | 11 | = 10 |
| 8 | = 8 | 12 | = 11 |
| 9 | = 9 | 13 | = 12 |
| a | = a | 14 | = 13 |
