Q17 / 100

What is the "hexadecimal" number system, and why is it commonly used in digital design?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is A) A base-16 number system using digits 0-9 and letters A-F, used because it provides a compact representation of binary numbers (each hex digit represents exactly 4 bits)

A

Correct Answer

A base-16 number system using digits 0-9 and letters A-F, used because it provides a compact representation of binary numbers (each hex digit represents exactly 4 bits)

Explanation

Hexadecimal is convenient in digital systems because each hex digit corresponds exactly to a 4-bit binary group (nibble), making it much more compact and readable than long binary strings.
