decimal numeration system
2.The positive integer by which the weight of the digit place is multiplied to obtain the weight of the digit place with the next higher weight, for example, in the decimal numeration system the radix of each digit place is 10, in a biquinary code the radix of each fives position is 2.
4.The fixed radix numeration system that uses the decimal digits and the radix 10 and in which the lowest integral weight is 1.
5.A term sometimes applied to a numeric representation in the binary numeration system(as contrasted, possibly, to binary coded decimal or some other represen tation using0-bits and1-bits).
6.a radix numeration system in which the location of the decimal point is indicated by an exponent of the radix; the floating-point representation of 0.0012 is 0.l2-2 where -2 is the exponent.
7.the average number of binary digits needed to express one radix digit in a non-binary numeration system; on the average a number that can be expressed in N decimal digits takes 3.3N binary digits.
