@@aaryanbhatia4939 my primary goal with my seximal terminogy was to mimic the way the english language handles decimal, not to be as practical as possible. also, I really wanted to avoid confusion in terms of what number you're referring to when you're talking out loud, and calling SEX30 "thirty" would be confusing because thirty unambiguously means DEC30, or SEX50.

Using 6 as a base is also cool because all prime numbers excluding 2 and 3(which are coincidentally the factors of 6(unrelated, but even more cool)) come either directly before or directly after a number that is divisible by 6. All prime numbers excluding 2 and 3 will therefore always have 1 or 5 as their last digit.
@eduardoxenofonte40049 ай бұрын

@Sina-dv1eg2 күн бұрын
If you use base 12, every prime number after 12 starts with 1, 5, 7 or 11. Since there's twice as many digits, this means that it's the exact same numbers you can exclude as you can with 6 This is because 6 and 12 have the same unique primes for their factorisation

For base 5040 you can write each digit as four decimal digits, and use a separator between each 4 digits such as an apostrophe. For example, 66488 = 13 * 5040 + 968 = "13'0968", or 1/2 = 2520/5040 = "0.2520". That lets you bypass the need to have 5040 different symbols or 5040x5040 multiplication table, while you still get all the nice fraction representations. I believe the bablyonians did something similar for their sexagesimal (base 60) system where they wrote every base 60 digit as two decimal digits.

Two solutions to the seeing numbers from a distance thing. 1: we just do as we always have and count digits. How many times do you have to go above 5 anyway? It's simple, intuitive, and not really disruptive to the our counting system 2: once all five digits are used, turn your hand around for 6 which makes it at least equivalent to decimal at visually counting with hands from a distance

if I had been listening to this out loud the information would've gone into one ear and out the other. but, since I'm using headphones, half of the information came through both ears and then knocked around in the empty chasm of my mind. once I remove my earbuds I'm afraid the pressure all this information has formed within my head will rush forth from my ear and possibly damage my eardrum. as you can see you've put me in quite the precarious situation. as for the joke, it would have gone over my head but it also tried to enter directly into my brain, but it was too dry to pass through my head hole and I believe it has lodged itself somewhere within my ear canal. you should be receiving an email from my lawyer within the next 24 hours detailing the lawsuit I am currently filing against you for the internal and external bodily harm this video has caused me.

finger counting is so fun for decimal, you can do a similar thing to the seximal system where each hand is a place, you just have to treat having the thumb extended versus the thumb curled as resulting in a different digit. for example: 0-4 are as normal, with a closed fist representing 0 and 1-4 fingers extended being the symbol for 1-4. but, by then retracting those 4 and extending your thumb, that can act as the symbol for 5. that leaves the other four did gets to be reextended. thumb and index is 6, thumb and two fingers is 7, and so on once you reach 10, the other hand can be used as the tens place while the first reverts to a 0 by becoming a closed fist. in this way you can count all the way up to 99 with only your fingers!

Seximal isn't better, not only can it not easily easily display 1/4 and 1/13 and basically any fraction smaller than 1/10, it's also gets ridiculously big fat quicker, his argument is basically, "well 5040 is really difficult to use so small bases are better", disregarding the fact that base 12 only needs 6 more characters than base. Not only are fractions overall better represented, but since base 12> base 10, numbers are smaller making it easier to do arithmetic, meanwhile with base 6, over time, base 6 gets smaller and smaller percentage wise to its base 10 power. 6^2 is greater percentage to 10^2 than 6^3 is 10^3( 36% for 6^2 compared to 21.6%). Not only that, but he also essentially chooses one recurring number over another and says one is easier. 0.2497 recurring is any harder than 0.1 because they're both non recurring and thus equally hard to divide and multiply by, the only difference being one is recurring in a one-number pattern (1) and the four-number pattern(2497). Since base 12 has less recurring fractions than base 6, it makes it easier to count with because there are more exact answers.
@mariafe70502 жыл бұрын
@@toade1583 "can it not easily easily display 1/4" 1/4 written with two digits isn't that bad. "and 1/13" Why does 1/13 matter to you? "and basically any fraction smaller than 1/10" You can say the same thing for any base. At some point, fractions will have complicated expansions, nothing unique to seximal. "it's also gets ridiculously big fat quicker" Well, yes, but the fact that basic arithmetic is really easy to learn basically cancels it out. Also, you can use niftimal compression. "his argument is basically, 'well 5040 is really difficult to use so small bases are better'" I do admit this was a bad example, but the point still stands. "base 12 only needs 6 more characters than base" Well, at the cost of slightly harder arithmetic. 5's and 7's are really hard to use, and it's larger than decimal. "Not only are fractions overall better represented" Well, except for 1/5. "since base 12> base 10, numbers are smaller making it easier to do arithmetic" At the cost of a bigger multiplication table. Bigger bases have their own set of problems. "meanwhile with base 6, over time, base 6 gets smaller and smaller percentage wise to its base 10 power. 6^2 is greater percentage to 10^2 than 6^3 is 10^3( 36% for 6^2 compared to 21.6%)." That's only about 4 seximal digits for every 3 decimal digits. Not that hard. " Not only that, but he also essentially chooses one recurring number over another and says one is easier." Saying that a shorter repeating expansion is easier than longer a one is not "choosing one over another". I think anyone can see that, also, it's not just about the expansion itself, as we'll see later. "0.2497 recurring is any harder than 0.1 because they're both non recurring and thus equally hard to divide and multiply by" False. Divisibility tests for 5 in seximal are easier than in dozenal, which correlates well with the amount of recurring digits. It also makes a nice multiplication pattern. 5, 14, 23, 32, 41, 50 is much easier to learn than 5, X, 13, 18, 21, 26, 2E, 34, 39, 42, 47, 50. Clear pattern in seximal, no clear pattern for dozenal. "the only difference being one is recurring in a one-number pattern (1) and the four-number pattern(2497)." Again, not just about the expansion itself, read what I said above. " Since base 12 has less recurring fractions than base 6" Actually, dozenal has the exact same amount of recurring fractions as seximal because they both have the same prime factors (2 and 3), any number that contains a prime factor greater than 3 will be recurring in both bases. The only difference is that dozenal has an extra prime factor of 2, which is redundant. "it makes it easier to count with because there are more exact answers." Again, wrong, read what I said above.

you can derive a divisibility test for a given number by splitting the number in two as a means of simplifying it. for a given number, y is the first digit of the number only, and x is the number without digit y. for example, for 321, y =1 and x = 32. you can combine x and y as '10x + y' to get back the number you chose. we can adjust the statement to create divisibility tests. as an example, we can make one for 15 (DEC 11). we can multiply our starting statement '10x+y' by 2, to make '20x+2y' (dw multiplication maintains its normal divisibility). we can then separate out 15x to make '(x+2y)+15x'. since we know 15x is divisible by 15, the test lies in the part in parenthesis (the 'x+2y' bit). just plug in the numbers x and y, and it will output a number. if it's divisible by 15, the whole number is too. it works recursively if you still cant figure out if its divisible. we are able to make tests for one above multiples of 10, though it will include negative outputs too. if we do 21 (DEC 13), we can use the same '20x+2y' statement, then with a bit of black magic, separate out a '21x' by fabricating a '-x', which makes '(-x + 2y) + 21x'. since we know the 21x is divisible by 21, the test, once again, lies in the parenthesis. in most cases it will produce a negative number, but we swap the signs to 'x - 2y' to make less cases be negative while maintaining its factors. regardless, we can take its absolute value *AFTER* we add the x and y terms. if you remember, Misali noted that all primes in seximal end with 1 or 5. with that said, it has a very big implication. this means that in seximal, every prime in existence has easy-to-derive divisibility tests, simply by getting the 'x' value, and adding the 'y' value times the multiple of six that the prime is adjacent to. the only point of complication is to make sure that the 'y' term adds in case the prime ends in 5, and subtracts in case the prime ends in 1. these two cases cover every prime. there might be specific divisibility tests case-by-case, but this is the general divisibility rule, and it works surprisingly well with seximal.
