For the whole package, use Printf.printf "%x\n" (0x0a * 0xff).

The %x conversion prints in hexadecimal, and integer constants in the program can be typed in hexadecimal with the 0x prefix.

Example:

$ rlwrap ocaml
        OCaml version 4.01.0

# Printf.printf "0x%x\n" (0x0a * 0xff);;
0x9f6

0x0a * 0xff

Hexadecimal is just yet another notation, not another algebra.
