Base in number system

What does base represent in number systems?

Hi @sanjaypanj940,
a base or radix is the number of different digits or combination of digits and letters that a system of counting uses to represent numbers. for example for decimal the base is 10 . Therefore from 0-9 there are 10 different digits which can be used to represent a number . Similarly for binary it is 2 which is 0 and 1.
