arvusüsteem

Arvusüsteem is a term used in Estonian to describe a number system. It refers to a method of representing numbers using a set of symbols, called digits, and a base. The most common number system is the decimal system, which uses ten digits (0-9) and has a base of 10. Other number systems exist, such as the binary system (base 2, digits 0 and 1) used in computing, or the hexadecimal system (base 16, digits 0-9 and A-F). The choice of number system depends on the context and purpose of its use. For example, the decimal system is intuitive for everyday calculations, while binary is fundamental for digital electronics. Understanding different arvusüsteemid allows for a deeper comprehension of mathematics and technology. Each system has its own rules for performing arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The value of a digit in an arvusüsteem is determined by its position within the number and the base of the system.
