Why didn't they make that many IPs during IPv4?

IPv4 is a set of binary numbers. There is only 256 numbers per each octet on the IP address (From 0 -255). With the fast growth of devices reaching the internet, you will run out of addresses rather quick.
IPv6 uses hexadecimal numbers instead of binary. You will have digits from 0 to 9 and then from A to F. You will have bigger numbers right from the start.
