The decimal number system, also known as base 10, is the most common number system we use daily. It uses ten unique digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Each digit's position in a number determines its value, which is a power of 10.

For example, in the number 345:

  • The digit 5 is in the units place (100=110^0 = 1), so its value is 5×1=55 \times 1 = 5.
  • The digit 4 is in the tens place (101=1010^1 = 10), so its value is 4×10=404 \times 10 = 40.
  • The digit 3 is in the hundreds place (102=10010^2 = 100), so its value is 3×100=3003 \times 100 = 300.

Thus, 345=300+40+5345 = 300 + 40 + 5.
