Binary and Hexadecimal Game

Learn the Binary and Hexadecimal Basics

Binary is a numerical system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1. Hexadecimal, on the other hand, uses digits 0-9 and A-F (or a-f) to represent values 0-15. In this game, you can learn and practice binary and hexadecimal conversions. Binary uses 2 as its base, while hexadecimal uses 16.

Binary and Hexadecimal Math Basics:

In decimal (our usual base-10 system), each digit represents a power of 10. Similarly:

  • 1 bit in binary represents 20 (1)
  • 1 digit in hexadecimal represents 160 (1)
  • 2 bits in binary represent 21 (2)
  • 2 digits in hexadecimal represent 161 (16)
  • 3 bits in binary represent 22 (4)
  • 3 digits in hexadecimal represent 162 (256)
  • 4 bits in binary represent 23 (8)
  • 4 digits in hexadecimal represent 163 (4096)
