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)
“The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
