Understanding Number Bases

In computer science and cryptography, numbers are represented in various bases depending on the context:

• Decimal (Base 10): The standard human base system (digits 0-9).
• Hexadecimal (Base 16): Widely used in memory addresses, Ethereum private keys, and transaction hashes because it compactly represents binary bytes using characters 0-9 and A-F.
• Binary (Base 2): The native language of computer hardware (digits 0 and 1).
• Octal (Base 8): Sometimes used in unix file permissions (digits 0-7).
