Definition of Base (Numbers)
There are two different types of base for numbers:
- The number that is raised to a power. For example, the base of \(9^4\) is \(9\).
- The number of digits used in a number system. For example, our decimal number system uses the digits \(\{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9\}\), so it is a Base-10 number system. The binary number system uses the digits \(\{0,1\}\), so it is a Base-2 number system.
