Number Bases in Computing

Computers operate in binary (base 2) at the hardware level. Programmers use hexadecimal (base 16) as a shorthand because each hex digit maps exactly to 4 bits. Octal (base 8) was common in early computing. Decimal (base 10) is the human default. Understanding base conversion is fundamental to working with memory addresses, color codes, network masks, and file permissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hex is compact — one hex digit = 4 bits, two hex digits = one byte. This makes it easy to read memory addresses, colour codes, and byte values. #FF5733 is far more readable than 11111111 01010111 00110011.
Two's complement is how computers represent negative integers in binary. To negate: invert all bits and add 1. So -1 in 8-bit is 11111111. This makes arithmetic work the same for positive and negative numbers in hardware.
A signed 32-bit integer holds -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. An unsigned 32-bit integer holds 0 to 4,294,967,295. JavaScript's Number type safely represents integers up to 2⁵³ - 1 (Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER).
