Basically positional numeral system comprises radix.
Definition of Positional Numeral System or radix system :
A positional (numeral) system is a system for representation of numbers by an ordered set of numerals symbols (called digits) in which the value of a numeral symbol depends on its position.
The value of a symbol is given by the weight of its position expressed in the bases (or radices) of the system.
Radix is also termed as base
What is radix ?
Radix is a term used to describe the number of digits utilized in a positional number system before "rolling over" to the next digit's place
Examples :
For example,
- in the base 10 number system, there is a total of 10 digits used (zero through nine), therefore, its radix is 10.
- for the decimal/denary system (the most common system in use today) the radix (base number) is ten, because it uses the ten digits from 0 through 9.
How do you find radix ?
Where R is the radix, X is the digit at a particular position and n is the number of digits contained in the value. To find the radix, solve for a and radix will equal a + 1. Solving this equation, a will be roughly = 0 or 7. This means the radix is octal.
