I'm talking about different bases here. I've heard a bunch of people say that base 12 is the best way to go, since it would make basic math easier. After all, 10 from the decimal system has only 4 factors (1,2,5,10), whereas 12 from the duodecimal system has 6 (1,2,3,4,6,12). But, looking from a math-based perspective, would base 12 really improve anything? When I think of theoretical math and all of the higher divisions of math that people study, numbers are hardly even used, so base 12 wouldn't make much of an impact. Or am I just mistaken?
