A binary number is a number expressed in the binary numeral system or base 2 numeral system. A binary number can express any number by using only two digits: 0 and 1. The calculator above converts binary numbers with 1 to 8 bits (one byte) to the decimal or hexadecimal equivalents.
The default 8 bit (one byte) binary number 10100100 is calculated to the decimal equivalent:
10100100
= 1 27 + 0 26 + 1 25 + 0 24 + 0 23 + 1 22 + 0 21 + 0 20
= 128 + 0 + 32 + 0 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 0
= 164
8 bits or byte can be used to represent an ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) alphabetic character - like the binary number 01000001, or decimal number 65, representing A.

The hexadecimal (also base 16, or hex) is a positional numeral system with base 16.
The hexadecimal system use sixteen distinct symbols with 0–9 representing the values zero to nine and A, B, C, D, E, F (or a, b, c, d, e, f) representing the values ten to fifteen.
The default hexadecimal number a4 from the calculator above can be converted to its decimal equivalent:
a4
= a16 161 + 416 160
= 10 161 + 4 160
= 160 + 4
= 164
The hexadecimal number a4 from the calculator above can be converted to its decimal equivalent:
a4b3
= a16 163 + 416 162+ b16 161 + 316 160
= 10 163 + 4 162 + 11 161 + 3 160
=40960 + 1024 + 176 + 3
= 42163

Each hexadecimal digit represents four binary bits - a nibble. Four digital bits can represent up to 16 different values. Two nibbles with 8 bits is a byte. Computers use mostly bytes or multiplies of bytes (16, 32, 64 .. bits) in their operations.
