Hexadecimal Arithmetic Hexadecimal Number System Following are the characteristics of a hexadecimal number system. Uses 10 digits and 6 letters, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A.8,C,D.E,F. Letters represents numbers starting from 10, A= 10, B= 11, C Also called base 16 number system Each position in a hexadecimal number represents a 0 power of the base (16). Example ~ 16° Last position in a hexadecimal number represents an x power of the base (16). Example - 16" where x represents the last position - 1 Example Hexadecimal Number ~ 19FDE +.

Locate A in the X column then locate the § in the Y column. The point in ‘sum’ area where these two columns intersect is the sum of two numbers. fas + Sic = Face Example - Addition 4A6is+ 1B31e= 65916 1 camry 4A6 =11900 +1B3 = 4350 659 =1625:0 Hexadecimal Subtraction The subtraction of hexadecimal numbers follow the same rules as the subtraction of numbers in any other number system. The only variation is in borrowed number. In the decimal system, you borrow a group of 1049, In the binary system, you borrow a group of 210, In the hexadecimal system you borrow a group of 1640 Example - Subtraction2A616- 18316 = 2F326 16 borrow 34A6 =1190. -1B3 = 435.0 2F3 = 755.0
