A hexadecimal digit can take up to 16 values, from 0 to 15. In order to represent values beyond 9 in one single digit, the digits A,B,C,D,E,F are used to represent 10,11,12,13,14,15 respectively.
Since we can also express 0 to 15 in 4 binary digits, there is a frequent need for conversion between hex and binary digits. Here is a conversion table:
hex binary
0 0
1 1
2 10
3 11
4 100
5 101
6 110
7 111
8 1000
9 1001
A 1010
B 1011
C 1100
D 1101
E 1110
F 1111
So E6 can be converted to binary digit by digit by combining E=1110 and 6=0110 into 11100110.
