    Numbering System

    To which numbering system can the binary number 1101100100111100 be easily converted to?

    Make a guess, then ask.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    the no. is 16 BITS

    so i expect i can divide it into groups of 4, so easiest possibility is HEX?

    you can express numbers in hex notation in C, so it could be.

    Basically, any numbering system who's base is a power of 2.
