In a vigesimal place system, twenty individual numerals (or digit symbols) are used, ten more than in the decimal system. One modern method of finding the extra needed symbols is to write ten as the letter A, or A 20, where the 20 means base 20, to write nineteen as J 20, and the numbers between with the corresponding letters of the alphabet.

A list of articles about numbers (not about numerals). Topics include powers of ten, notable integers, prime and cardinal numbers, and the myriad system.
Typically, Ilocanos use native numbers for one through 10, and Spanish numbers for amounts of 10 and higher. Specific time is told using the Spanish system and numbers for hours and minutes, for example, Alas dos/A las dos (2 o'clock). For dates, cardinal Spanish numbers are the norm; for example, 12 (dose) ti Julio/Hulio (the twelfth of July).
Every nonzero real number x has exactly one real cube root that is denoted and called the real cube root of x or simply the cube root of x in contexts where complex numbers are not considered. For example, the real cube roots of 8 and −8 are respectively 2 and −2 .
A square root of a number x is a number r which, when squared, becomes x: =. Every positive real number has two square roots, one positive and one negative. For example, the two square roots of 25 are 5 and −5. The positive square root is also known as the principal square root, and is denoted with a radical sign:
Numbers may either precede or follow their noun (see Latin word order). Most numbers are invariable and do not change their endings: regnāvit Ancus annōs quattuor et vīgintī (Livy) [1] 'Ancus reigned for 24 years' However, the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 200, 300, etc. change their endings for gender and grammatical case.
Sociable Dudeney numbers and amicable Dudeney numbers are the powers of their respective roots. The number of iterations i {\displaystyle i} needed for F p , b i ( n ) {\displaystyle F_{p,b}^{i}(n)} to reach a fixed point is the Dudeney function's persistence of n {\displaystyle n} , and undefined if it never reaches a fixed point.
