title: Importance of Hexadecimal numbers in Computer Science
body: <p>When studying programming 8085, 8086 and microporcessors in general we always have hexadecimal representation. Its ok that binary numbers are important in computers. But how these hexadecimal numbers are important? Any historical importance?</p>
  
  <p>It would be nice if someone point to some historical papers also.</p>
