The Babylonians
Probably it was the ancient Babylonians whose number base was 60 or maybe the ancient Mayans whose number base was 20
A counting base of 10 is a decimal base.
The base of our number system is 10. However there are mathematical methods of converting bases to 2 , 5 ...e.t.c.
In any system of counting, there are exactly the same number of digits as the base. They go from 0 to one less than the base.

It derives from an ancient Arabic source, itself based on counting on fingers/thumbs and is the international norm. In ancient times, the Babylonians used base 60, but, successful though it was, the decimal system is less cumbersome.
Babylonian numerals were written in cuneiform, using a wedge-tipped reed ... used a sexagesimal (base-60) positional numeral system inherited from the ... The Babylonians did not technically have a digit for, nor a concept of, the number.
The Mayans used a similarly number system to the Babylonians but chose different numbers as the bases. Their number system had a base 5 within a base 20.
I need the same answer LOL
A counting base of ten is a decimal base.
A counting base of 10 is a decimal base.
No. Not in hexadecimal, but yes if you are counting in base 21, for example.
