The base of a counting system are the building blocks of the system. We normally count in base ten. Big numbers are written in powers of ten with (from the RIGHT), units, tens, hundreds (= 10 tens), thousands (= 10 hundreds), etc.
Computers store and process information in base 2 (binary) or base 16 (hexadecimal). Ancient Baby;onians used base 60 - remnants of which can still be seen in minutes and seconds. Many European cultures used twenty (think of French numbers over 60). Base 12 (dozens and gross) are other examples.
