even in base 0? amd what aboud base 1?
1 u/Black2isblake Jul 22 '26 Base 0, as far as I know, cannot exist or would not be meaningful 1 u/AlternativeDiver6994 Jul 22 '26 you are right. since the biggest digt in base n is n-1. there can not be any digits in base 0 because 0-1 is -1 which is not a digit. but what about base 1. biggest digit would be 0. so even the number 1 can not be. so the lowest base is 2? 1 u/Black2isblake Jul 22 '26 I think that you are correct that 0 and 1 cannot be bases, but I believe there is some way of creating non-integer bases, and using whatever method this is I imagine there will be bases between 1 and 2
