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:
“... is it not clear that to give to such women as desire it and can devote themselves to literary and scientific pursuits all the advantages enjoyed by men of the same class will lessen essentially the number of thoughtless, idle, vain and frivolous women and thus secure the [sic] society the services of those who now hang as dead weight?”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“For the universe has three children, born at one time, which reappear, under different names, in every system of thought, whether they be called cause, operation, and effect; or, more poetically, Jove, Pluto, Neptune; or, theologically, the Father, the Spirit, and the Son; but which we will call here, the Knower, the Doer, and the Sayer. These stand respectively for the love of truth, for the love of good, and for the love of beauty.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
