Answer 2

Answer:

It's also known as a place-value number system.

Explanation:

The base is the number that determines how many symbols we use and the value at each place in the representation of a number.

In a decimal base there are ten symbols. We typically use {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} . Then the number 123=1×102+2×101+3×100 .

In a general positive base b , an (n+1) -digit number represented by anan−1…a1a0 , with ai∈{0,1,,˙b−1} , is the same as an×bn+an−1×bn−1+⋯+a1×b1+a0×b0
