    I mean, base 12 or 16 is definitely better than 10. Not saying imperial is better but a system like metric that uses base 12 or 16 would be best, as it’s divisible by more numbers.

          You do realize that this was an example to illustrate that it’s easier to just add to zeroes, right?

        I’ll bite.

        4^-1 * (42)3 = 4^5 = 256 * 4 = 1024

        4^5 (16^3 = 4^6 ) or 16^2 * 4

        Being able to easily work with fraction and integers is important for all things. Outside of mathematic? You mean outside of all things related to numbers? Ok…

        That is an unfortunate name for a numbers system
