Is the propulsion rate between every two adjacent counting units 10?

Counting units include integer parts and decimal parts, and their arrangement order is as follows: ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

We usually use decimal notation. "Decimal" means that the relationship between every two adjacent counting units is: one large unit equals ten small units, that is, the forward speed between them is "ten". For example, one thousand equals ten hundred, one hundred equals ten tens, and one ten equals ten ones.

The characteristics of the decimal system:

1, ten into one, twenty into two, and so on. ...

2. According to the weight expansion, the first weight is 10 0, the second weight is 10 1 ... and so on, the nth bit is 10 (n- 1), and the value of this number is equal to the value of each bit × this bit.

Extended data:

Human arithmetic uses decimal system, which may be related to the fact that human beings have ten fingers. Aristotle said that the universal use of decimal system by human beings is only the result of an anatomical fact, that is, most people are born with 10 fingers.

At the latest in Shang Dynasty, China had adopted the decimal system. It can be seen from the Wen Tao and Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty that we were able to record any natural number within 100,000 with thirteen numbers, such as one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, hundred, thousand and ten thousand.

Although the shapes of these numbers have changed in later generations and become the current writing methods, the notation has never been interrupted and has been used and improved day by day. Decimal notation is the most advanced and scientific notation in the ancient world, which plays an inestimable role in the development of world science and culture.

Compared with the binary counting method, the decimal counting method is the most commonly used counting method (commonly known as "one in every decimal"). Its definition is: "the ratio of every two adjacent counting units is ten", which is called decimal counting method. Computers use binary methods.
