Question 1. Which base, hex or octal, is more commonly used today as a shorthand representation for binary numbers and why? To answer, refer to Table 2.1 and consider the following: a. which base, hex or octal, will require fewer digits to represent a binary number? And b. given that a byte is comprised of 8 bits, which base, hex or octal, can be more compactly used to represent an 8-bit (1-byte) binary number? Assume a byte value of 11111111 and convert to octal and hex. Write your answers, including explanations, in your lab journal. Table 2.1: Numbers 0 to 31 and 56 to 71 in decimal (base 10), binary (base 2), octal (base 8), and hexadecimal (base 16).
