The decimal number system.

∙ 8y agoOur numbers (1,2,3 etc) are based on the decimal system, or the base 10 system.
However many other number systems are in common use. Computers use a binary (base 2), octal (base 8) or hexidecimal (base 16). The faces of clocks, the months of the year, degrees in circle and dozens are all based on an old base 12 system of notation.
Fortunately the Mayan system, a vigesimal (base 20 system, has mostly died out. The only exception seems to be the interest in 2012 due to the completion of a baktun (properly b'ak'tun) of 20 katun cycles of the ancient Maya Long Count Calendar used in a recent movie.
