Base 16. As if you had 16 fingers to count on (8 on each hand, wow!) instead of 10. Computers use it in many cases like color encoding for web fonts. But how do you count using only 10 numbers when you need 16 of them? You add in A, B, C, D, E, and F in place of the "missing" ones above 9 where we run out of numbers in base 10.

So you count in Base 16 like this:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, 20, 21, 22, 23 etc.

10 in base 16 equals 16 in base 10
11 in base 16 equals 17 in base 10
20 in base 16 equals 32 in base 10
100 in base 16 equals 256 in base 10
1000 in base 16 equals 16384 4096 in base 10 (I guessed wrong, had to look it up!)
