What is the place value for base six?

Answer 1

In base six, each digit's place value is a power of six, starting from the rightmost digit, which represents (6^0) (1), then (6^1) (6), (6^2) (36), and so on. For example, in the base six number 254, the digit '4' represents (4 \times 6^0), '5' represents (5 \times 6^1), and '2' represents (2 \times 6^2). Thus, the value of the number can be calculated by summing these products. This system allows for representation of numbers using the digits 0 through 5.
