Ten.
Commonly numbers are base 10 already.
It is 560.
What is the base 10 representation of 1203^5
500
In any system of counting, there are exactly the same number of digits as the base. They go from 0 to one less than the base.
ted has 500 base ten blocks
Simple answer? Because you have ten fingers, it was the easiest to count & the ancients ran with it. There have been other base number systems, for example Sumerians & Babylonians had base 60 (that's why there are 60 minutes, 60 seconds etc).
In base ten, ten is not a prime number. It is divisible by both 2 and 5. In base 2, however, 10 is equal to two in base ten and two is a prime number.
The base of the Chinese number system is ten.
base 5
It is 986, exactly in the question. If the number in the question was in some base other than 10, then I cannot guess what base it is meant to be in. In any case, if I were to guess, then I may as well make up my own questions and answer them!
A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. Assuming that the number 400 is in base 10 then it is a decimal equivalent. If it is in any base other than 10 then it is not a decimal.
The base of a number is the size of the groups in a counting system. The system we use is base 10. The smallest two-digit number, 10, represents a group of ten units or 101. 100 is ten groups of ten units or 102. 1000 is ten groups of ten groups of ten units or 103, and so on. The base is also the number of different digits used in the counting system including 0. Computer designers and low level programmers are also familiar with base 2 (binary), base 8 (octal) and base 16 (hexadecimal). In binary, 10 represents a set of two units or 21, 100 is two sets of two or 22, 1000 is two sets of two sets of two or 23, and so on. When a base other than 10 is being used, the base is often written as a subscript after the number. For example, 101012 = 258 = 2110.
The number system commonly used by humans is base-ten.
