How to convert binary to hex

Split the bits into groups of four, starting from the right, and pad the leftmost group with zeros if needed. Each group is one hex digit.

Worked example

1010 0011: 1010 is A and 0011 is 3, so the result is A3.

Why programmers use hex

Long bit patterns are hard to read. Hex is four times shorter and converts to bits in your head, which is why memory addresses, colours and byte dumps are written in it.
