Question

Define the base of the number system
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The base value of a number system is the number of different values the set has before repeating itself. For example, decimal has a base of ten values, 0 to 9. Binary = 2 (0, 1)

Answer 2

Base 8 is much more practical for every day usage while still being useful for computer work. Issac Asimov was a big proponent of using base 8 instead of base 10. In contrast many people think base 12 is better because is has the most divisors: 2,3,4 and 6. The base value of a number system is the number of different values the set has before repeating itself.
