Radix Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

Radix (from Latin, basis) is the number base of a numeral system.

For example, binary is "base 2" and thus has a radix of 2. When describing radix in mathematical notation, the letter b is generally used as a symbol for this concept, so, for a binary system, b equals 2.

Another common way of expressing the radix is writing it as a subscript after the number that is being represented. 1111011₂ implies that the number 1111011 is a base 2 number, equal to 123₁₀ (a decimal notation representation), 173₈ (octal) and 7B₁₆ (hexadecimal). When using the written abbreviations of number bases, the radix is not printed: Bin 1111011 is the same as 1111011₂.
