In fact, both systems appear in our everyday lives

In fact, both systems appear in our everyday lives,from how we measure degrees and time,to common measurements,like a dozen or a gross.And, of course, the base two, or binary system,is used in all of our digital devices,though programmers also use base eight and base 16 for more compact notation.So the next time you use a large number,think of the massive quantity captured in just these few symbols,and see if you can come up with a different way to represent it.
