hexadecimal  (hks-ds-ml)

Of, relating to, or based on the number 16. The hexadecimal number system is a way of representing numbers where each successive digit or number represents a multiple of a power of 16. It uses the digits 0-9 plus the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, and G to represent the decimal values 10-15. For example, 4B7E represents (4 × 16³) + (11 × 16²) + (7 × 16¹) + (15 × 16⁰), or 19,327 in the decimal system.
