Information
has glosseng: Mixed radix numeral systems are non-standard positional numeral systems in which the numerical base varies from position to position. Such numerical representation applies when a quantity is expressed using a sequence of units that are each a multiple of the next smaller one, but not by the same factor. Such units are common for instance in measuring time; a time of 32 weeks, 5 days, 7 hours, 45 minutes, 15 seconds, and 500 milliseconds might be expressed as a number of minutes in mixed-radix notation as:
lexicalizationeng: mixed radix
lexicalizationeng: Mixed-radix
instance of(noun) a numeration system in which a real number is represented by an ordered set of characters where the value of a character depends on its position
positional notation, positional representation system

has glossspa: Los sistemas de numeración de raíz mixta (o también base combinada) son sistemas de numeración posicionales no estandard en los que la base o raíz varía de una posición a otra. Tal representación numérica es ventajosa cuando se quieren representar unidades que son equivalentes a otras pero tienen diferente ratio. Por ejemplo, 32 semanas, 5 días, 7 horas, 45 minutos, 15 segundos y 500 milisegundos podrían escribirse en minutos en una notación de raiz mixta como:
lexicalizationspa: Raiz mixta
lexicalizationspa: raíz mixta
