6 hex nibles means a 24 bit binary number, its just a hex representation of 24 bit binary number as Kai states. Question is How this can be converted to a decimal number on a Binay computer? conversion can be done from one coding scheme to another coding scheme like binay to BCD, or printable ASCII string of decimal representation. if some calculations has to be done, its still in the form a binary computer can easily deal with.
