"A base is a natural number B whose powers (B multiplied by itself some number of times) are specially designated within a numerical system." [1]: 38 The term is not equivalent to radix, as it applies to all numerical notation systems (not just positional ones with a radix) and most systems of spoken numbers. [1]
Place value of number in decimal system. The decimal numeral system (also called the base-ten positional numeral system and denary / ˈ d iː n ər i / [1] or decanary) is the standard system for denoting integer and non-integer numbers. It is the extension to non-integer numbers (decimal fractions) of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system.
For example, "11" represents the number eleven in the decimal or base-10 numeral system (today, the most common system globally), the number three in the binary or base-2 numeral system (used in modern computers), and the number two in the unary numeral system (used in tallying scores). The number the numeral represents is called its value.
Another common way of expressing the base is writing it as a decimal subscript after the number that is being represented (this notation is used in this article). 1111011 2 implies that the number 1111011 is a base-2 number, equal to 123 10 (a decimal notation representation), 173 8 and 7B 16 (hexadecimal).
The ten digits of the Arabic numerals, in order of value. A numerical digit (often shortened to just digit) or numeral is a single symbol used alone (such as "1"), or in combinations (such as "15"), to represent numbers in positional notation, such as the common base 10.
Decimal (base ten) number system, used in mathematics for writing numbers and performing arithmetic Dewey Decimal System , a subject classification system used in libraries Decimal currency system, where each unit of currency can be divided into 100 (or 10 or 1000) sub-units
A Nivenmorphic number or harshadmorphic number for a given number base is an integer t such that there exists some harshad number N whose digit sum is t, and t, written in that base, terminates N written in the same base. For example, 18 is a Nivenmorphic number for base 10: 16218 is a harshad number 16218 has 18 as digit sum 18 terminates 16218
