    QUESTION 1:

    ~Why we convert binary to hexadecimal

    The choice of hexadecimal representation is taken because of human readability and ease of
    conversion. This also works the other way round so its much easier for big binary numbers (that appear
    in memory addresses) to convert them into hex and manipulate them with this representations

    ~How to convert binary to hexadecimal

    1. Start at the rightmost digit and break the binary number up into groups of four digits. These are
    known as nibbles . ...

    2. Next, convert each group of four digits into decimal.

    3. Convert each decimal value into its hex equivalent.

    4. Put the hex digits together.

    ~To convert 1011110111 to hexadecimal

    0010 1111 0111

    = 8421 8421 8421


    = 2 15 7
