    In mathematics and computing, hexadecimal is a positional system that represents numbers using a base of 16. Decimal comes from the Latin word decimus, meaning tenth, from the root word decem, or 10. The decimal system, therefore, has 10 as its base and is sometimes called a base-I 0 system. 99 hexadecimal is equal to 153 decimal.
