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:
“But however the forms of family life have changed and the number expanded, the role of the family has remained constant and it continues to be the major institution through which children pass en route to adulthood.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“Television is an excellent system when one has nothing to lose, as is the case with a nomadic and rootless country like the United States, but in Europe the affect of television is that of a bulldozer which reduces culture to the lowest possible denominator.”
—Marc Fumaroli (b. 1932)
