Which base system is used in denary?

The denary system, also known as the decimal system, is a base-10 numeral system. This means that it is composed of ten digits, ranging from 0 to 9. Each position in a number represents a power of ten, which is essential for counting, arithmetic, and various calculations in everyday life.

In contrast to base-10, base-2 refers to the binary system, which uses only two digits (0 and 1), and is fundamental in computer systems. Base-8, known as the octal system, uses eight digits (0 through 7), while base-16, or hexadecimal, includes sixteen symbols (0-9 and A-F) to represent values. These different base systems serve specific purposes in computing and mathematics, but when it comes to general counting or most common applications, the base-10 system is what we refer to as denary.
