Hindu-Arabic Numeration System
1. All numerals are constructed from the 10 digits
2. Place value is based on powers of 10
Copyright © 2013, 2010, and 2007, Pearson Education, Inc.
Place value assigns a value to a digit
depending on its placement in a numeral.

Base-ten blocks
1 long →101 = 1 row of 10 units
1 flat →102 = 1 row of 10 longs, or 100 units
1 block→103 = 1 row of 10 flats, or 100 longs, or
1000 units
Copyright © 2013, 2010, and 2007, Pearson Education, Inc.
Example 2-1
What is the fewest number of pieces you can
receive in a fair exchange for 11 flats, 17 longs, and
16 units?
11 flats
11 flats
17 longs

18 longs
16 units (16 units = 1 long
6 units and 6 units)
6 units (after the first trade)

Example 2-1
11 flats

12 flats
18 longs
8 longs

(continued)
6 units (18 longs = 1 flat)
and 8 longs)
6 units (after the second
trade)

Example 2-1
(continued)
(12 flats = 1 block and 2 flats)
1 block

Roman Numeration System
Copyright © 2013, 2010, and 2007, Pearson Education, Inc.
In the Middle Ages, a bar was placed over a
Roman number to multiply it by 1000.
V represents 5 1000 5000
CDX represents 410 1000 410,000

Other Number Base Systems
Quinary (basefive) system
Copyright © 2013, 2010, and 2007, Pearson Education, Inc.
Example 2-2
Convert 11244five to base 10.

Base Two
Binary system – only two digits
Base two is especially important because of its use in
computers.
One of the two digits is represented by the presence of an
electrical signal and the other by the absence of an
electrical signal.

Base Twelve
Duodecimal system – twelve digits
Use T to represent a group of 10.
Use E to represent a group of 11.
The base-twelve digits are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, T, and
E.
