Cheers, Bev
Base in math refers to the number of digits used to form the numbers.
We have many number systems that use different bases.
Examples of base in math are as follows:
The binary number system uses only 2 digits, that is, 0 and 1 to
represent the numbers.
The octal number system uses 8 digits, that is, 0 to 7, to represent
the numbers.
The most common number system that we use in our daily life is the
decimal number system that uses the base 10, which uses digits from 0
to 9 for representing numbers.
We also have a hexadecimal number system that uses 10 digits that is
from 0 to 9 and 6 alphabets from A to F to represent the numbers in
the number system.
Definition of a Base in Math
Base in math can be defined as the total number of digits or
sometimes, the combination of digits and letters that is used to
express numbers in a number system.
Another name for the base of a number system is “radix.” There are
many number systems and each one of them has different bases. Numbers
in a base start from 0.
Here are a few examples of base numbers in math and the number
systems:
