	Math Forum: Ask Dr. Math FAQ: Number Bases
		From binary to octal, base 4 to base 16
		Base 2 and base 16 are heavily used in computers, but base ten (decimal) is so heavily entrenched that the only other example I can think of where another base is commonly used is in old-style counting: dozen = 12, gross = 144 = 1212, great gross = 1768 = 1212*12.
		Base four works the same way but we only have four symbols (0,1,2,3) for counting and each place is four times greater than the one to its right.

	News-Star OnlinePentagon seeks 25 percent cut of base costs 12/21/03
		Bases with no room to grow, surrounded by "urban encroachment" and high costs are the prime targets.
		Since the military structures bases on the traditional "fort system," it equips each with a commissary, infirmary, chapel -- and even daycare centers nowadays -- as if it were miles from civilization and needed to be a self-contained community.
		The Pentagon will propose a set of criteria for evaluating bases by the end of this month, and the first clue of what that means in terms of specific bases will come out in February when it makes its budget request for fiscal year 2005.

	Counting in Base 12

		Similarly in base 12, for which the expression of the same number is 104.

		This calculator is concerned only with changing numbers into different bases and no attempt is made to explain what these numbers are and how they work.
		Only in the base 10 (decimal) system can words such "hundred", "thousand", "million" and so on, be used.
		Thus '10022' in base 3 would be said as "One, zero, zero, two, two" and NOT "Ten thousand and twenty two".

		What your program is to do is determine the smallest base for X and the smallest base for Y (likely different from that for X) so that X and Y represent the same value.
		Of course if the two integers cannot be equal regardless of the assumed base for each, then print an appropriate message; a suitable illustration is given in the examples.
		12 (base 3) = 5 (base 6) 10 (base 10) = A (base 11) 12 (base 17) = 34 (base 5) 123 is not equal to 456 in any base 2..36 1 is not equal to 2 in any base 2..36 10 (base 2) = 2 (base 3)

		On a base 12 chart 2,3,4,6,11,12, and 13 will create patterns that a very easy to see; 5, 8, 9, and 10 will create patterns that are almost as easy to see.
		(Creating a base 12 chart makes good basic spreadsheet practice for those who are starting basic computer skills.) Assign different students to shade in all the multiples of different numbers, and then describe the patterns that they see.
		Converting from fractions to "decimal"* in base 12 is much easier than in base 10.

	Base 12 (DuoDecimal) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Base 12 was used not as a formalized place value, but rather as a grouping value that combined with other values to a larger grouping value.
		The use of 12 as a grouping value can be seen as arising from its many divisors, which would let someone who had 1 dozen or group of something to divide it up easily.
		The use of 12 as a grouping value may also be related to the observation that there are approximately 12 months (moons) in year.

		Date: 5/31/96 at 15:29:17 From: Doctor Byron Subject: Re: Base Six Number System Hi Scott, To count in base six, you generally use the first 6 digits starting with 0: 0 1 2 3 4 5 Notice that because zero is included, six in not used.
		So in base 6, you would count like this: 0 1 2 3 4 5 10 11 12 13 14 15 20 21 22 23 24 25 30...
		For example, let's see what 243 (base 6) is in base 10: 243 (b6) = 3 x 6^0 + 4 x 6^1 + 2 x 6^2 = 3 + 4 x 6 + 2 x 36 = 99 I hope this will help you explore bases a little more easily.

	www.GovExec.com - Congress reaches deal on military base closings (12/11/01)
		Congress will likely approve military base closings in 2005 and, for the first time, require that some Energy Department facilities be reviewed for shuttering, according to congressional and industry sources.
		Like previous base closure rounds in 1988, 1990, 1991, 1993 and 1995, the proposal would require lawmakers to appoint a nine-member independent commission to come up with lists of bases to close that would then be either approved or rejected by the President and Congress in its entirety.
		An industry source, who backed the Senate proposal to close bases in 2004, said the proposal was better than not having base closures at all, but added that Congress was only wasting money by delaying it for a year.

		Now of course this comment is based on knowledge of our own decimal system which is a positional system with nine special symbols and a zero symbol to denote an empty place.

		Although 5 is nothing like as common as 10 as a number base among ancient peoples, it is not uncommon and is clearly used by people who counted on the fingers of one hand and then started again.

	Bialetti Hi-Base 12" Frying Pan 45013 Review at Epinions.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This one had an interesting "machined" bottom which translates into an almost waffle weave look and is created to diffuse heat more evenly than traditional cookware.
		In addition the bottom is called a "hi-base" referring to the fact that there is a fractional amount of height from the base to the actual bottom of the cooking surface.
		I'll estimate it around seven pounds thanks in large part to the base - both the heavy gauge bottom and the fact that it's a "hi-base".
