a tenth would look like this in base 336.

.33201 201 repeating. however i believe only tenths and fifths repeat.

my first attempt at the second digit decimals.

.01 = 1/112896

.167168 = 1/56280

28140 / 336 = 83.75
.75 x 336 = 252
[U].[/U][S]0[/S][U]83[/U][S]252 [/S] = 1/28140
[U].zero[/U][S]eightythree[/S][U]twofiftytwo[/U]

7035/336 = 20.9375
.9375 x 336 = 315
[U].0[/U][S]20 [/S][U]315[/U] = 1/7035
.zerotwentythreefifteen


.875 x 336 = 294

..375 x 336 = 126

.1875 x 336 = 63

I like to argue with myself. I could argue ten has misled us because many fractions cannot be expressed but we have ten fingers. It is our evolution that is preventing us from evolving and finding a better more beautiful and suitable base that ten or something ending in a zero or five. I would argue that ten has enticed us but we must separate from our old ways because decimals would be much more exact even expressed in two or three base 336 decimals.

On the other hand base ten is pretty simple and imaginary zeroes can be beneficial.

my bottom line argument is that base ten cannot express 1/3, 1/6, 1/7, 1/9, 1/11, 1/12, 1/13, or 1/14

while base 336 only struggles in tenths.

My theory is if we had 12 fingers we would have never used the base 10 system. Therefore we should switch to a better base system.

Are you in, anyway, interested in writing a book about that? Could you please easify the mathematical process so that it can be understood easily. Thank you!

base 360 decimals and numbers.

1 1 = 361

2 1 = 721

Decimals.

.180 = 1/2
.120 = 1/3
.90 = 1/4
.72 = 1/5
.60 = 1/6
cannot do 1/7
.45 = 1/8
.40 = 1/9
.36 = 1/10
.30 = 1/12
.24 = 1/15
.20 = 1/18
.18 = 1/20
.15 = 1/24
.12 = 1/30
.10 = 1/36
.9 = 1/40
.8 = 1/45
.6 = 1/60
.5 = 1/72
.4 = 1/90
.3 = 1/120
.2 = 1/180
.1 1/360


Here is some data to compare to base 336. I feel like base 360 is superior however I have not dwelled on it for a long time to figure out which is the true better base.

base 336 has 20 fractions to choose from in base ten conversion.

while base 360 has 23 fractions to choose from and can compute tenths.

My new vote after studying bases is that base 360 is superior to our base 10 and should replace our small calculations.

I love being given tasks. I will put it in my to do list to make a book about base 360 or just alternate bases all together. thank you for taking interest.

I hopefully will have a speech given by ai.

when i asked explain to me why base 360 would be better than base 10 like a caveman. The AI said something like base 10 fractions no work base 360 fractions work.

I am trying to make a clip or link to the AI speech. I am mainly trying to make a clip why base 360 would be better for manufacturing aerospace parts.

I have two arguments.
1.
decimals that are involved in manufacturing will be much more precise and give you many more exact decimals to work with when designing parts with a 3D printer or drill or laser

2.
When coordinates are saved by gps they are decimals as close as possible between two degrees. with base 360 decimals there are 23 fractions to choose from with one figurative digit. while base 10 can only express 3 1/10, .1, 1/5 .2 and 1/2 .5 this gives us very few fractions of a degree to work with on the other hand base 360 has 23 fractions to choose from

i think this important because when coordinates are saved they are an estimated degree if we used base 360 we will have alot more precise locations to choose from than with five or six decimals. when coordinates are saved then re entered they would be slightly off. i believe we can save pin point locations.

One thing I want to say about the imaginary zero is that in the decimals the tenth digit is a whole such as .9 then 1.0. however with my rhetilator zeros will only be valueless to avoid confusion. however decimals representation will be different such as .3 has to equal 1. this can be proved by base 3. 3/.3 = 3

or 1/3 = .1, .1 x 3 =1 or .3 not 1.0

i was onto this earlier about decimals will have representations rather than be able to add a decimal to one 10/1.0 = 10 in base 3 with no imaginary zeros 3/.3 = 3

I believe the reason we use base ten and imaginary zeroes is because it predates computers. having an imaginary zero simplifies algebra on paper by hand but complicates measurements, finance, and navigation.

If we design ai with base 360 and calculations are precise then we should switch to a base 360 for scientific calculators. and also use base 336 when 1/7 is needed.

That is the progress on made on my how to math book. Base conversion does not work without an imaginary zero so i was pretty sad about that. but measurements for medical supplies and aerospace parts. the robotic programming will be much more precise

there is only 9 decimal places to choose from because you cannot express ten and one with the same digit. 0 is still always valueless base ten. there is only 9 options for decimals the zero at the end is always there which adds confusion to my rhetilator.

I would urge this calculator be done with all my decency. if you are off by 1/11 it cannot be expressed by base ten.

The alternate solution to flying to the moon was add 12 digits to scientific calculators. this amount of digits minimizes the 1.2 billion feet to .001 feet accuracy.

However this method is flawed because if the digit lands between two numbers in an alternate base it would not be able to express that decimal place so lets say were one billion feet from the moon but out additional decimal is off launching us improperly. If we can get an exacact launch coordinate then an initial decimal will not send us off course

I am having trouble describing this but if we used base 12 how would we describe the twelfth digit in base base 10 it would be 11/12 for example is off by .9166 repeating since our calculator cannot describe the eleventh digit our calculator error would send us off course three digits into our calculation

i believe with base 360 our flight path to the moon would be dramatically simplified with upgraded base 360 navigation. because digits landing between two decimals is far less likely to occur

I thought how this could be used in finance. Normally savings accounts have percentages.

If we were looking for 4 percents interest I would offer to loan the bank money where it starts out at .1 percents base 360 and every day or month interest goes up 1/360th all the way up to 4 percent.

This would encourage people to loan money longer or at least 4 years to get maximum interest.

by having many more fractions to advertise and ladder up. financing becomes a lot more appetizing.

working money on .04 percent or .0399 percent is great. but if the bank started a program where each day interest slightly went up. a lot of investors would be enticed by this strategy.
