  Base (mathematics) -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Sometimes, a subscript notation is used where the base number is written in (A character or symbol set or printed or written beneath or slightly below and to the side of another character) subscript after the number.
The largest digit in a base is therefore one less than the base itself, as after this largest digit, an extra digit must be added to make 10 in that base.
Because we work in base ten normally, it is easier to think of numbers in this way and therefore easier to convert them to base ten first, though it is possible (but difficult) to convert straight between non-decimal bases without using this intermediate step.

By using simple division by 8 (octal base 8), we derive the decimal base 10 equivalent from the remainders of the divison.
Becaues Octal is base 8, it begins to devert from the decimal pattern after 7 (i.e., 10, 11,...17, 20, 21, 22,...).
Based on those, it is easy to understand that hexadecimal number is a number written in base 16.

The mathematical expressions were all in base 8 (octal) notation instead of the base 10 (decimal) we are most used to seeing.
The solution to the unsolved equation is 16, because the mathematical equations are using base 8 (or octal), in which 15+7 is still 24, but 23-13 is still 10, and 11*22 is still 242.
In base 10, the equations are nonsense, but in base 8 they make perfect sense.

This chapter describes the base tag set for prose texts, the simplest of the base tag sets defined by these Guidelines.
Consequently, the elements needed to encode conventional prose are all included in the core tag set described in chapter 6 Elements Available in All TEI Documents) and the base tag set for prose itself defines no elements at all: it merely invokes the tag set for default text structure.
When this base tag set is used, all the elements defined in the core tag sets are available, as are those in the default text structure described in chapter 7 Default Text Structure.

 Base 8: Math
The numbers in base eight look just like our normal numbers (except that they never use the symbols 8 or 9), but they don't mean the same things.
First, you understand that our normal system of counting is based on the principle that every tenth number, you start over and move to the left—because there are only ten symbols to work with.
So we can say "1235 base eight equals 669 base ten." Or, to put it another way, "when you write 1235 in base eight, you really mean the number six-hundred and sixty-nine." That's a kind of base-ten-centric way to put it, but hey, we're base-ten-centric people.
