Why was the earliest system of counting based on 10 ? |
|
Answer» tion:Nature gave us ten fingers, and so it is NATURAL for us to count in tens. ... MACHINES count bigger NUMBERS in the same way we do: by counting how many times they run out of digits. This SYSTEM is called binary and the binary number 10 means the machine RAN out of digits one time. A human would call this number two. |
