The method and an example
Each hexadecimal digit is worth a power of 16, from right to left, and the letters A to F stand for 10 to 15. For example, FF = 15 × 16 + 15 = 255, and 1A = 1 × 16 + 10 = 26.
Hexadecimal is used for colors (#FF0000), memory addresses and error codes. The table below shows the first numbers in all four bases.
