radix notation in which the digit places do not all necessarily have the same radix 1, record 1, English, - mixed%20radix%20notation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Example: The numeration system in which three successive digits represent hours, tens of minutes, and minutes; taking one minute as the unit, the weights of the three digit places are 60, 10, and 1 respectively; the radices of the second and third digit places are 6 and 10 respectively. 1, record 1, English, - mixed%20radix%20notation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
A comparable numeration system that used one or more digits to represent days and two digits to represent hours would not satisfy the definition of any radix notation, since the ratio of the weights of the "day" and the "tens of hours" digit places would not be an integer. 1, record 1, English, - mixed%20radix%20notation

numération à base dans laquelle tous les rangs de chiffre n'ont pas nécessairement la même base de numération 1, record 1, French, - num%C3%A9ration%20mixte
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Exemple : Système de numération employant trois chiffres successifs pour représenter respectivement les heures, les dizaines de minutes et les minutes; si l'on prend la minute comme unité, les poids des trois rangs sont respectivement 60, 10 et 1; les bases de numération des deuxième et troisième chiffres sont respectivement 6 et 10. 1, record 1, French, - num%C3%A9ration%20mixte
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Un système de numération analogue employant un chiffre au moins pour représenter les jours et deux chiffres pour représenter les heures ne répondrait pas à la définition de la numération à base car le rapport des poids attachés respectivement au chiffre des «jours» et au chiffre des «dizaines d'heures» ne serait pas un entier. 1, record 1, French, - num%C3%A9ration%20mixte
