Internet of decimal number system

The decimal number system consists of 10 independent number (0-9),and hence is called base 10 number system. To represent  numbers other than these, the independent numbers are combined .

               Let us take an example of 5678.we read this number as five thousand  six hundred and seventy eight .It is made from the addition of 5000,600,70and 8 (5678=5000+600+70+8).Now look at these numbers,5000 as a whole number does not lie in between 0 to 9 and similar is the case for 600 and 70.

                      Here ,we have used 5,6,7 and 8 to represent  a complete number five thousand six hundred  and seventy eight is different and that there weight or position (5 in the position of thousand,6 in hundreds,7 in tens and 8 in unit).

                                Here we see that the weight of 5 is the highest and that of 8 is the lowest. We should notice that the weight of each number differs from each other with multiple of 10. This means that the weight depends upon the radix or base. Also the weight has been increasing from side to the left.
