      If you say base “10”, what does that mean? You’d have to know the base that “10” was meant to be in. It could be binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, any number. It does not even need to be a natural number, you can use negative numbers, fractional numbers, negative fractional numbers, irrational numbers, even complex numbers as a base.

      Base 10 does mean nothing and everything.
