Notes - I -
In Base 10 or Decimal Number System we use 10 digits : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
In Base 8 or Octal Number System we use 8 digits : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
In Base 2 or Binary Number System we use 2 digits : 0 1
In Base 16 or Hexadecimal Number System we use 16 digits : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F
Both The Binary and The Hexadecimal Number systems are widely used in computing applications.
Notes - II -
The Sumerian Number System not only utilized the base 12 and 60 but also the base 10. Thus yet again they were pioneers in that "arena" as well.
It will left to the inquisitive viewers, to discern on how they might have had ended up with the number 10...😎
