number systems use different bases. If a number only uses 5 symbols, then it is in base 5
The number system we use is base 10, because we have 10 symbols: 0123456789 so the number
1289 = 9x10^0 + 8x10^1+2x10^2+1x10^3
If it were in another base n, then converted to base ten
abcd = dxn^0 + cxn^1+bxn^2+axn^3
A number system some may be familiar with is binary, which has a number base 2 since it only has 2 symbols, 1 and 0
In other number systems, the symbols can be different, such as in Babylonion, or other languages.
