Primorial Number System
Another proposal is the number system with successive prime numbers as radix, whose place values are primorial numbers:
| radix: | 17 | 13 | 11 | 7 | 5 | 3 | 2 |
| place value: | (p6=13)# | (p5=11)# | (p4=7)# | (p3=5)# | (p2=3)# | (p1=2)# | (p0=1)# |
| decimal: | 30030 | 2310 | 210 | 30 | 6 | 2 | 1 |
- where, and pj = jth prime, p0# = p0 = 1.

Famous quotes containing the words number and/or system:
“In the multitude of middle-aged men who go about their vocations in a daily course determined for them much in the same way as the tie of their cravats, there is always a good number who once meant to shape their own deeds and alter the world a little.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
