- Why is hex shown with letters?
- Hexadecimal uses digits 0-9 plus A-F to represent values 10-15. So decimal 255 = hex FF, decimal 16 = hex 10.

- This tool supports unsigned positive integers. For signed binary (two’s complement), use a specialized calculator.
- What is binary used for?
- Binary is the native language of computers. Every number, character, and instruction is ultimately a sequence of 0s and 1s.
