We're a collaborative community website about number bases and radices that anyone, including you, can build and expand. Wikis like this one depend on readers getting involved and adding content. Click the "ADD NEW PAGE" or "EDIT" button at the top of any page to get started!

 In mathematics, bases (also known as radices, number bases, number systems, and numeral systems) are ordered systems used to represent numbers, like the decimal number system. Bases typically contain a finite number of digits for smaller numbers which can be put together to create larger bases. Positional base systems contain number places each of which is a given amount (called the "base" of the system) larger than the previous number place, and each of which a number can be inserted into; for example the decimal number 3924, represents the sum 3 "thousands", 9 "hundreds", 2 "tens", and 4 "ones" (units). This wiki is all about number bases and their real life uses.
