What number from one to eight is Uranus?
The answer depends on the basis for numbering: distance from the sun, mass, volume, number of moons, order of discovery. Since you have not bothered to share that crucial bit of information, I cannot provide a more useful answer.
Who invented the decimal number system?
Melvil Dewey created the Dewey Decimal system. It is a classification system used by libraries, and not what is meant in the question. The decimal number system is the number system that we all use on a daily basis; it was invented by a succession of Arab and Hindu mathematicians beginning about 1400 years ago.
Example of a base in math?
Probably the most common example is the basis of a number system, such as the commonly humanly used base 10 or the binary base 2 used in computers.
