Throughout their many centuries of use, which continues today for specialized topics such as time, angles, and astronomical coordinate systems, sexagesimal notations have always contained a strong undercurrent of decimal notation, such as in how sexigesimal digits are written.

On paper, the hex value 0a0b0c0d ( written 168496141 in usual decimal notation ) is big-endian style since we write the most significant digit first and the rest follow in " "'de "'creasing " significance.
