The base of a number is the size of the groups in a counting system. The system we use is base 10. The smallest two-digit number, 10, represents a group of ten units or 101. 100 is ten groups of ten units or 102. 1000 is ten groups of ten groups of ten units or 103, and so on. The base is also the number of different digits used in the counting system including 0.
Computer designers and low level programmers are also familiar with base 2 (binary), base 8 (octal) and base 16 (hexadecimal). In binary, 10 represents a set of two units or 21, 100 is two sets of two or 22, 1000 is two sets of two sets of two or 23, and so on.
When a base other than 10 is being used, the base is often written as a subscript after the number. For example, 101012 = 258 = 2110.
If a^x = n, where a is a positive real number other than 1 and x is a rational number then logarithm is defined as, logarithm of n to the base a is x. Then is written as log n base a = x.
The base word of "realistic" is "real."
An irrational number is a real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers. In decimal terms, it is a real number that has either a terminating decimal or an infinitely recurring decimal. This would apply whatever the integer base, such as binary, octal, hexadecimal.
A number does not have an exponent in isolation. It has an exponent in the context of a base. The same number can have different combinations of base and exponent. For example, 64 = 8^2 or 4^3 or 2^6. A base cannot be zero but usually it is restricted to positive real numbers. In higher mathematics, the most common base is the irrational (even transcendental) number e = 2.71828...

the base number
The square of a real number is always a real number.
Then, if the exponent is a positive integer, the value is 1 multiplied by the base repeatedly, exponent times. If the exponent is a negative integer then it is the reciprocal of the above value.In either case, it is NOT the base multiplied by itself an exponent number of times.
The base or base number when dealing with percentages is the number on which the calculations are based. EXAMPLE : What is 12% of 87? Then 87 is the base number. Express 42 as a percentage of 59. Then 59 is the base number.
The real number in '101.7' is 101. A real number is a positive whole number.
