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.

What is log base 2?
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.
What number is irrational?
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.
What is an exponent of 18?
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...
What is the exponent of 10000000000?
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...
What is the exponent of 5.5?
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...
What is the exponent for of 32?
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...
What is the exponent of 105?
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. 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...Thus 105 = 105^1 or 10^2.0212 or e^4.6540
What does -log represent in the pH formula?
It is the negative value of the 10-base logarithmof [positive real number](cf. mathematics)
What is a base 3 number?
the base number
When a base of an exponential expression is apositive real number and exponent is an integer?
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.
Can a square of real number is a real number?
The square of a real number is always a real number.
What is the base and exponent form of 216?
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. 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...Thus 216 = 216^1 or 10^2.3345 or e^5.3753 or 6^3 or 36^1.5 and so on.
