Counting in Hexadecimal

[@slizzardshroomer9666]

Thank you for such a straightforward explanation! What is wrong with some channels making 18 minute videos on how to count in Hex and not explaining anything. It's such an incredibly simple concept yet teaching it appears to be so hard for some people to do. Heck, this could be explained in a couple minutes really. I just don't understand why all the other "teachers" beat around the bush for minutes on end when it's so straightforward and there's really not much to it. Thank you for just being direct and straight to the point. It's finally clear to me. Even a young child could understand this, some "teachers" have no idea how to explain basic concepts and I sometimes feel like they're obfuscating easily explainable things deliberately.

This explanantion really help me understand this topic, now my concept has become crystal clear. Thanks mate.

I've been playing with hexadecimal numbers on my calculator and come up with two interesting ones, 5B and 369D. If you divide any 3 repdigit in hex by the sum of those digits, for example DDD by D+D+D you get 5B. In this respect 5B is the counterpart of 37 in decimal even though they don't express the same quantity. However in hex, unlike decimal, you also get an integer, 369D, if you divide any 5 repdigit by the sum of its digits. I think this must be because 10-1 has only one proper divisor, namely 3, but 16-1 has two, namely 3 and 5.

3:12 it has always bugged me that we don't have words for hex 10 and up (i guess technically we don't have _words_ for hex A and up either, for that matter). surely some nerd or group of nerds out there has come up with a way to speak hexadecimal numbers in a more natural-language way than just listing off the digits. 🤔 i'm tempted to swipe the scheme jan misali uses in his video on seximal (base 6) numbers and apply it to hexadecimal. 😅 so hex 27 would be something like "hex twosy-seven", hex 7B like "hex sevensy-bee", and hex FF like "hex effsy-eff". sounds kind of dumb at first, but idk, it could work. i forget whether he had names for 100, 1000, and up, ..but knowing him, i'm sure he did 😄 (maybe hundsy, thousy, etc)

Well explained.

nice video dude

I use hexadecimal for squares and use base 18 for anything EXCEPT TIME
