Radix Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Radix
"Radix" is another word for "base" (in mathematics); for other uses, see Base.
"Radix" is genus of freshwater snails from Lymnaeidae family, see Radix (genus)"

In mathematical numeral systems, the base or radix is usually the number of various unique digits, including zero, that a positional numeral system uses to represent numbers. For example, the decimal system, the most common system in use today, uses base ten, hence the maximum number a single digit will ever reach is 9, after which it is necessary to add another digit to achieve a higher number.
