With most of us having 10 fingers it's a very natural choice of base to count to.
They use a base 10 system
Because base-10 is the most common system. Humans have 10 fingers, therefore, it is most natural to use a base-10 system.
Use hexadecimal (base 16) rather than base 10.
The base 10 system.
They use it because they have 10 fingers and 10 toes. Makes counting much easier.
Both for logs and antilogs, the base must be specified. Once you decide on your base, you can calculate that on any scientific calculator. Use the antilog function (base 10, or base e, if that's what you need), or calculate 10 to the power -4.1 (if you want a base-10 antilog), or e to the power -4.1 (if you want a base-e antilog), or some other base to this power. In Excel, you can use the power operator. For example, for 10 to the power -4.1 (that is, the antilog, base 10), type the following in an Excel cell: =10^-4.1
What 'logarithm base are you using. If Base '10' per calculator The log(10)125 = 2.09691 However, You can use logs to any base So if we use base '5' Then log(5)125 = 3 Because 125 = 5^3
The decimal system we normally use is base 10. That means that each position has 10 times the place-value of the digit to the right of it.Binary is base 2. Hexadecimal is base 16.
we humans use the base 10 because it is easier and more comfortable for us than the base 2 used by computers and as such we require less memory in our brain to fathom the answer of a question and subsequently answer or compute them easily that base 2
base-2 : 111 = 7(base-10) base-3: 222 = 26(base-10) base-4: 333 = 33(base-10) base-5: 444 = 124(base-10) base-6: 555 = 215(base-10) base-7: 666 = 342(base-10) base-8: 777 = 511(base-10) base-9: 888 = 728(base-10) base-10: 999 = 999(base-10) base-11: AAA = 1241(base-10) base-12: BBB = 1727(base-10) base-13: CCC = 2196(base-10) base-14: DDD = 2743(base-10) base-15: EEE = 3374(base-10) base-16: FFF = 4095(base-10) In short, base-n: n cubed - 1(base-10)
It is only true in the sense that any numeric base, expressed in that base, is represented with the symbol "10". Confusing? Let's clarify that. Hexadecimal numbers use sixteen as the base. But how do you express the value sixteen in hexadecimal? Quite easy, it would be written as "10". The same is true in any other base. For example, in binary (base two), the value two is expressed as "10". In octal (base eight), the value eight is expressed as "10". In decimal (our familiar base ten), the value ten is expressed as "10". No matter what base you work in, the base itself will always be expressed as "10". That however is not the same thing as saying that hexadecimal numbers are based on the number ten. That is incorrect. Hexadecimal numbers use the base sixteen.
It is 0.3333333 repeating. 1/3 in base 10 percentage is irrational, always use 1/3 when doing calculations in base 10.
