quick hex question

[JacobM5727]

could someone explain something about hex for me:
i need to make hex numbers into binary, but i dont know how to do this, or what it really even means

the numbers are

0x0016
0x00F8

etc there are some more, but if i figure this out i can get em, i dunno how to do the "x" part on the calculator, or what it means

thanks

There are many conventions for distinguishing hexadecimal
numbers from decimal or other bases in programs. In {C} for
example, the prefix "0x" is used, e.g. 0x694A11.
