Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is factorial base? (Definition)
The factorial base (factoradic) is a writing of the numbers whose position of the figures is defined by the factorial of the position. The nth digit (from the right) of a number is written in base i, and its value in base 10 will be multiplied by $ (i - 1)! $
Example: $ 3210_{(!)} = 3,2,1,0_{(!)} = 3_{(3)} 2_{(2)} 1_{(1)} 0_{(0)} = 23_{(10)} $
All the numbers in factorial base end with 0, thus, it is current to omit it on condition of specifying it clearly.
How to write/convert a number to factorial base?
To write a number $ n $ in factorial base, noted $ n_{(!)} $ Or $ n_! $, perform the successive divisions of $ n $ by $ i $ ranging from 1 to infinity, as long as the result of the Euclidean division is not zero. The factorial notation consists of the remainders obtained in reverse order.
Example: $ 1234_{(10)} = 1,4,1,1,2,0,0_{(!)}= 1411200_{(!)} $
| n | i | calculation | remainder |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1234 | 1 | 1234 ÷ 1 = 1234 | 0 |
| 1234 | 2 | 1234 ÷ 2 = 617 | 0 |
| 617 | 3 | 617 ÷ 3 = 205 | 2 |
| 205 | 4 | 205 ÷ 4 = 51 | 1 |
| 51 | 5 | 51 ÷ 5 = 10 | 1 |
| 10 | 6 | 10 ÷ 6 = 1 | 4 |
| 1 | 7 | 1 ÷ 7 = 0 | 1 |
How to convert a number written in factorial base?
Number conversion from $ n_{(!)} $ (In factorial basis) to base/radix 10, carry out the successive multiplications of its digits (starting from the right) by $ i! $ ranging from 1 to infinity.
Example: $ 1411200_{(!)} = 1 \times 6! + 4 \times 5! + 1 \times 4! + 1 \times 3! + 2 \times 2! + 0 \times 1! + 0 \times 0! = 1234 $
