Hexgit number?

if digit is the name for a number on base 10, what would be the name for a number on base 16? Hexgit?

Solution

  • Digit. Simply a hexadecimal one.

    Are you looking for an analogue to bit for binary digit? Hexgit wouldn't be my choice; it doesn't really roll off the tongue. As for the unit of storage, a hex digit represents a nibble's worth (or nybble).
