In a hexadecimal system, interpretative rules are associated with a base of 16 with integers ranging from 0 to 9 and A to F. Each digit represents 16^n, where n is the number of positions to the right of the radix point. For example, 3F in hexadecimal represents (3*16) + (15*1) = 63 in decimal. The range of whole numbers that can be represented by a single byte in a hexadecimal system is still 0 to 255. Investigators may need to evaluate files with a hexadecimal viewer to understand the file format and extract information.
