 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 = 12*12, great gross = 1768 = 12*12*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.

 www.GovExec.com - Only minor glitches found in Y2K test at base (5/13/99)
The base had tested individual systems before this week, but had never tested a full simulation of the century change for the entire base infrastructure, including voice and data networks and the logistics, finance, security, medical, contracting, training and personnel applications that run on those networks.
Base personnel were instructed to conduct business as usual throughout the test.
For the simulation, the base first switched the date on all systems to September 9, 1999, because "9999" is a stop code for some computer programs.

 Number Base Calculator
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.
Take care that numbers in any base, other than 10, are said by naming the separate digits.
Thus '10022' in base 3 would be said as "One, zero, zero, two, two" and NOT "Ten thousand and twenty two".

 Base 13 - Uncyclopedia
Base 13 is a number system designed to create 42 as the answer to 6*9.
Its inventors went on to international fame and fortune as founders of the School of Creative Mathematics, an exclusive academy whose graduates played key roles in the US and international corporate accounting scandals of the early 21st century.
All of their calculations which followed were based on a simple but codified set of mathematical principles.

 Base-n Arithmetic
Both division and modulus in base n should actually be done by converting to decimal, performing the desired arithmetic and then converting the answer back to base n.
Notice that the result of division of base n numbers is another base n integer - and thus integer division must be used.
Modulus in base n should actually be done by converting to decimal, performing the modulus and then converting the answer back to base n.

 How to Convert From Base 10
Converting numbers from base 10 to a different base (we'll call it base K) is harder than converting it to base 10.
Basically, the algorithm repeatedly divides by the base (in the previous example, the base is 2).
For base 2, pick the greatest power of 2 that is less than or equal to the number you're converting.

 Napa County - Living Here
One of the main reasons that California voters passed Proposition 13 in June 1978 was to protect themselves against escalating property taxes as the value of their property increased.
The lower base year value cannot be transferred until the original home is sold; so if the replacement home is purchased first, there may be a period when they will have to pay the higher tax.
If the new residence had a higher base year value than the home they sold, they will receive a refund check to help them pay the higher taxes until the next full tax year when their former base year value will appear on the regular bill.

For those who were wondering, 'base n' just means that you have n symbols that represent digits.
So, in base 2, for instance, that means you have '0' and '1' So, counting up from zero, you would represent the counting numbers as follows
In base 13, we would need 13 symbols, rather than the 10 we currently have, so, lets say our set is 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,#,$,*

The base class is then in grave danger of becoming a global namespace for all the functions that might be used by any of the derived classes.
It is possible to tell C++ that you do not want two copies of the shared base class, as shown in Figure 13.2, but rather to have a single shared base class, as shown in Figure 13.3.
The virtual methods are invoked, and based on the runtime binding of the pointer, the correct method is called in the derived class.

 Chapter 13: Behavior of Species in Aqueous Solution
The nature of acids and bases is explored in detail, and ideas are developed that enable broad understanding of the reactivity of acids and bases under a variety of circumstances in aqueous solution.
Bases are not as easy to recognize from their formulas, but we can state some general guidelines.
If the acid region for a conjugate pair overlaps the base region for another conjugate pair, the acid of the first pair and the base of the second pair are compatible and may coexist in solution.

 Santa Cruz County Government - Proposition 60 - Protect Your Prop 13 Base
This pamphlet, produced by the Santa Cruz County Assessor explains how people over the age of 55 may obtain tax relief by transferring their base year value to a replacement dwelling when purchasing a new home.
The only exception to this is when a Prop 13 base value is transferred to a licensed mobile home.
Since the mobile home is not assessed, we need to make some adjustment to the allocation so that an allocated improvement value does not cause a distortion in the assessment.

 CNN.com - Researchers find ideal spot for moon base - Apr 13, 2005
The best spot to settle on the Moon may be on the northern rim of Peary crater, close to the north pole, says Ben Bussey of Johns Hopkins University.
The analysis, to be published in the April 14 issue of the journal Nature, is based on 53 images from the spacecraft Clementine, which orbited the Moon for 71 days in 1994.
Unlike Earth, whose extreme tilt causes seasons, the Moon's rotational axis is almost perfectly upright, deviating just 1.5 percent from the main plane of the solar system that extends outward from the Sun's belly.

But rebels loyal to General Laurent Nkunda, a dissident army officer who launched the rebellion in May, denied that the pro-government militia had driven them out of their headquarters in the lakeside town of Minova.
