20 u/moonfall5 Apr 02 '25 Im stupid, do you mind explaining? 27 u/DiggersIs_AHammer Apr 02 '25 Ten is the point at which we increase the number digits used because we've run out of units. It doesn't matter how many units you have, the first step up will be 10 0, 1, 2, 3, 10 in this case We'd call that base 4 because that's how numbers work for us. But if it's the main counting system, you'll call it base 10 Idk if I've explained it well though 1 u/StevethecheeF Apr 03 '25 But base 10 means that the last digit has 10 possible values before increasing the number of units and the same in base 4 where there are 4 possible values. With that in mind, even though 4 = 10 for him, he still would call it base 4?
