Computers communicate using electrical signals that represent only two states: ON and OFF. This is why the Binary system is the foundation of all modern computing.
Decimal (Base 10)
The system we use every day, based on ten digits (0-9). It was likely adopted by humans because we have ten fingers.
Hexadecimal (Base 16)
Hex uses 16 digits (0-9 and A-F). It is widely used in programming and web design (like CSS colors) because it can represent 8 bits (one byte) in exactly two characters.
