Fun Fact
Each hexadecimal digit represents exactly four binary bits. This is why hexadecimal is widely used in computing - it provides a compact and human-readable representation of binary data without losing precision.
Historical Context
Hexadecimal notation became popular during the early development of digital computing in the mid-20th century. Engineers working with machine code and memory registers needed a concise way to represent binary sequences. Because 16 is a power of two (2⁴), hexadecimal offered a mathematically efficient bridge between binary logic and human readability - a standard that remains foundational in modern computing.
