Counting in base 5 would proceed thus: 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. In order to represent the result of adding "1" to the "4," in the above set of symbols, we would write "10." Adding "2" to the "4" would yield "11" in a like manner. These examples are analogous to the set of symbols included in the familiar base ten (i.e., 0 - 9) being incremented to "10" by adding "1" to the highest symbol in that set (i.e., "9").

How many symbols exist in the base of a number?
The number of symbols in the base of a number is equal to the base. Thus if the base is 2, there are two symbols, if the base is 8, there are eight symbols, if the base is 10, then there are ten symbols, if the base is 16, then there are sixteen symbols. Note that in each case "0" is a symbol. Also the base itself is not in the set of symbols. Thus there is no symbol for "2" in the base 2 system, no symbol for "8" in the base 8 system and so on. In each case the base is represented by the combination of the primitive symbols that run from 0 through (base - 1). Thus two in the base 2 system is represented as 10, eight in the base 8 system is represented by 10, and so on.
How many different symbols are used in the hexadecimal base 16 number system?
There are 16 symbols. The number of symbols is always the same as the base.
X 5-5 8?
X 5-5 8 is a disconnected set of numbers and symbols. There is no indication as to what is to be done with them! Since there is no equation, it is not possible to solve anything. Since there are no operations between the numbers and symbols it is not possible to simplify.
What is a set of symbols that represents the sound of a language?
A set of symbols that represents the sound of a language is called an alphabet or a phonetic alphabet. These symbols are used to transcribe speech into written form and allow for a standardized way to represent the sounds of a language.
What is a set of symbols that represents the sounds of a language?
The alphabet is a set of symbols that represents the sounds of a language.
How many different symbols are used in the binary base 2 number system?
The number of different symbols is the same as the base. So the answer is 2 and the symbols are 0 and 1.
What is string in automata theory?
In formal language theory, a string is defined as a finite sequence of members of an underlying base set; this set is called the alphabet of a string or collection of strings. The members of the set are called symbols, and are typically thought of as representing letters, characters, or digits.
What is a number system?
number systems use different bases. If a number only uses 5 symbols, then it is in base 5 The number system we use is base 10, because we have 10 symbols: 0123456789 so the number 1289 = 9x10^0 + 8x10^1+2x10^2+1x10^3 If it were in another base n, then converted to base ten abcd = dxn^0 + cxn^1+bxn^2+axn^3 A number system some may be familiar with is binary, which has a number base 2 since it only has 2 symbols, 1 and 0 In other number systems, the symbols can be different, such as in Babylonion, or other languages.

What are the symbols use in a base five numeral system?
The symbols used are the numbers 0 to 4. Five is represented by 10, Twenty-five is represented by 100 and Sixty is represented by 220. For more info on the Quinary system (base 5) check the wiki reference below.
What is the solution set for x 5 when the replacement set is whole numbers?
Unfortunately, limitations of the browser used by Answers.com means that we cannot see most symbols. There is no equations visible in the question. Please resubmit your question spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "equals".
What is the base of Hexadecimal number system and write its permissible symbols?
The base in a hexadecimal system is 16. The symbols are: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F
