2. Select the desired operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) from the dropdown menu.
3. Enter the second hexadecimal number in the "Second Hexadecimal Number" field.
4. Click the "Calculate" button to perform the operation.
5. The result will be displayed in the "Result" field in hexadecimal format.

Hexadecimal Number System

The hexadecimal number system uses 16 distinct symbols: the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. Each hexadecimal digit represents four binary digits, making it a compact way to represent large binary numbers.
